R260 is the newly-designed short-depth rack server with filter bezel for NearEdge customers. Featuring the latest Intel Xeon-E 2400 series processors, DDR5 memory, NVMe BOSS, and Energy Star 4.0 PSU, the R260 is ready to support customers growing businesses.

More Flexibility and Protection for Near-Edge Deployment

For Near-Edge applications including deployment in warehouses, retail offices, or a simple desk or shelf, the R260 adapts to any environment with its short-depth, 17-inch chassis. In addition, the R260 is equipped with an easy-to-manage filter bezel that shields the inner hardware from dust and grease, ensuring unobstructed airflow to main components resulting in fewer failures or performance issues, better acoustics, and efficient power consumption.

Affordable Entry Rack Server with Enterprise-level Features and Capabilities

Affordability does not compromise performance. The R260 is an enterprise-level server that features reliable hardware, latest-generation processors and memory, advanced boot options and secure IT infrastructure. In addition, the R260 supports different upgrade options for both hardware and software to meet a wide range of customer needs.

Chassis Options & Fans

PowerEdge R260 supports the following internal storage configurations:

6 x 2.5" SAS/SATA RAID
2 x 3.5" SAS/SATA RAID

The PowerEdge R260 system supports up to a maximum of six fans, five Standard (STD), and one High performance (HPR) cooling fan based on the system configuration. These fans are not hot-swappable. The Number of fans changes based on which Chassis you select. When the 6 x 2.5" Chassis is selected. Two more Fans slots must be filled behind the drive cage. The one high performance Fan is required when the BOSS-N1 Module is installed.

Networking Options

The system supports up to two 10/100/1000 Mbps Network Interface Controller (NIC) ports embedded on the LAN on Motherboard (LOM) and up to four ports integrated on the optional network cards.

Feature	Specifications
LOM	1 Gb x 2
Network Card (optional)	1 Gb x 4, 10 Gb x 2, 10 Gb x 4

Boot Options

BOSS-N1 NVMe Module

The Boot Optimized Storage Sub-system is the perfect way to load the OS on this server. Otherwise, you will have to allocate 1 of the drives. This is not ideal when the storage in the system is so limited and the mixing of drive types is not supported. The BOSS module has a dedicated slot with 2 Hot-Swap M.2 Drives.

Internal USB

The Second option is an embedded USB slot on the system board. This USB drive can handle any OS you need to load. View the Manual for more information on the internal USB.

Storage Controllers

Dell's RAID controller options offer performance improvements, including the Adapter PERC solution. Adapter PERC provides a base RAID HW controller without consuming a PCIe slot by using a small form factor and high-density connector to the base planar.

The Adapter PERC (aPERC) can only be installed in one of the PCIe slots. You must install the RC1 Butterfly Riser that supports 2 PCIe 4.0 slots.
