The R820 is a Quad Processor system with 12 DIMM slots per CPU. There are four memory channels per CPU. Each memory channel manages three DIMM slots. This means the R820 will only support two Quad Rank or two unbuffered DIMMs per channel. The Dell PowerEdge R820 server is a Generation 12 supporting Four Intel Xeon E5-4600 or E5-4600v2 Series processors, 48 DDR3 memory modules, and 8 or 16 2.5in hard drives. It is rack mountable, occupying 2U height in a standard 19' networking rack.
Manage data overload and expanding virtual environments with the extreme processing power and massive memory density of the Dell™ PowerEdge™ R820.
