Dell PowerEdge T330 Tower Server with Intel Core i3 6100

This configuration ships with an Intel Core i3-6100 (3.7 GHz, 2 cores/4 threads, 3 MB cache). The server supports DDR4 ECC UDIMM memory with 4 DIMM slots and compatible speeds up to 2400 MT/s (installed modules in this listing include 4GB, 8GB or 16GB single-DIMM options).

The listed configuration includes a 500 GB 7.2K RPM SATA 3 Gbps 3.5" hot-plug drive. The T330 supports a variety of drives: 2.5" SATA/SSD, 2.5" SAS (10K/15K), 2.5" nearline SAS, 3.5" enterprise SATA 7.2K and 3.5" nearline SAS 7.2K. Drive bay and hot-plug options depend on chassis selection.

The server supports up to 8 x 3.5" drive bays (and can accept 2.5" drives using 3.5" hybrid drive carriers). Chassis options include cabled and hot-plug bay configurations (e.g., 2 x 3.5" cabled, 4 x cabled, or 4 x hot-plug).

Available PERC options include S130, H330, H730 and H830. The S130 is a basic software-assisted controller; the H330/H730/H830 are hardware RAID controllers offering broader RAID level support and better performance. Hardware controllers support common RAID levels (0, 1, 5, 6 and 10), while the S130 provides more basic RAID functionality—check Dell documentation for exact feature sets per controller.

Yes — the T330 platform supports processors from the Intel E3-1200 v6 family as well as select dual-core options (Pentium, Core i3, Celeron) depending on the board revision and BIOS. CPU upgrades may require BIOS updates and checks for thermal and power compatibility; consult Dell's compatibility matrix or contact Dell support before upgrading.

This configuration includes a Broadcom BCM5720 network controller providing 2 x 1 GbE ports on the LOM (LAN on motherboard).

The T330 provides four PCIe 3.0 expansion slots: 1 x8 (electrical x16 connector), 1 x4 (x8 connector), 1 x4 (x8 connector), and 1 x1 (x1 connector). These can be used for RAID controllers, NICs, GPUs, HBA cards, and other adapters — verify physical clearance and power requirements for full-length cards.

Standard power options include a single 350W cabled PSU. The chassis can be configured to accept redundant power supplies (up to 2 x 495W redundant PSUs) for higher availability — availability depends on the chosen chassis and configuration.

The PowerEdge T330 supports Microsoft Windows Server with Hyper-V and VMware vSphere ESXi. An embedded hypervisor option is available depending on configuration. Always verify specific OS versions and driver support on Dell's support site.

This configuration includes a 3-year Basic Hardware Warranty with 5x10 HW-only repair and 5x10 next-business-day (NBD) onsite service as specified in the product description.

Add DDR4 ECC UDIMMs into the available DIMM slots (the server has 4 slots). Use matching DIMM sizes and speeds for best performance; the system requires ECC UDIMMs as listed. For maximum supported capacity and qualified DIMM part numbers, consult Dell's documentation or support site.

The T330 can be used for light to moderate virtualization workloads (it supports Hyper-V and VMware ESXi). The number of VMs depends on the installed CPU, memory, storage performance and workload profiles — with a Core i3-6100 and limited RAM, expect a small number of low-to-moderate VMs. For larger VM densities, choose a quad-core Xeon E3 CPU and increase RAM and storage I/O capacity.

Yes. The T330 supports SATA SSDs and SAS/nearline drives alongside traditional HDDs. You can create mixed-tier storage configurations, but plan your RAID/controller and cache configuration for optimal performance and reliability.

There are eight total USB ports: rear — 2 x USB 3.0 and 4 x USB 2.0; front — 1 x USB 3.0 and 1 x USB 2.0.

For replacement parts, upgrades, certified components, and detailed compatibility or installation guidance, contact Dell or an authorized Dell reseller/support representative and consult the official Dell PowerEdge T330 documentation and parts lists on Dell's support website.
