The Dell C6600 holds 4 Nodes. Either the AMD C6615 or the Intel C6620 Node Server.
You can not mix nodes.
The Dell C6620 CTO is a server Node that gets placed into the rear of the C6600 Rack Enclosure. The Rack Enclosure can handle up to 4 systems in one enclosure. (2U4N)
The next-generation compute-dense Dell PowerEdge C6620 is a multi-node (2U4N) server designed for compute-intensive workloads. Right-sized low-latency storage makes it ideal for IOPS-heavy workloads. With improved Dell DLC (direct liquid cooling) support and expanded air-cooling coverage, thermal efficiencies can help lower energy and ownership costs while helping scale your business.
Reduce design cycles and innovate faster
Delivering breakthrough innovation, the PowerEdge C6620 enables high-performance and scale-out computing with performance and density. Requiring only half the footprint of 1U rack servers, take advantage of lowered TCO with half the infrastructure.
The Dell PowerEdge C6600 is a high-performance server designed to boost outcomes for core applications such as:
Max ROI
- DUse up to two Next Generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors with up to 56 cores per processor and up to 8,960 cores in a standard 42U rack (compared to 4,480 cores in a 1U rack).
- Enables DDR5 at 4800 MT/s memory and PCIe Gen5 with double the speed of previous Gen4 for faster access and transport of data, optimizing application output.
- Optional liquid cooling is available to efficiently cool high-performance CPUs while reducing energy costs and carbon footprint.
Scale more efficiently within your existing datacenter
- Increase core density in existing racks and maintain core data center ambient temperature.
- 53% increase in air cooling configuration support over previous generation.
- Faster, low-latency storage with Gen5 E3.S.
Increase efficiency and accelerate operations with autonomous collaboration
The Dell OpenManage™ systems management portfolio delivers a secure, efficient, and comprehensive solution for PowerEdge servers. Simplify, automate and centralize one-to-many management with the OpenManage Enterprise console and iDRAC.
Cyber Resilient Architecture for Zero Trust IT environment & operations
Security is integrated into every phase of the PowerEdge lifecycle, including protected supply chain and factory-to-site integrity assurance. Silicon-based root of trust anchors end-to-end boot resilience while Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) and role-based access controls ensure trusted operations
Chassis Options
The C6620 Node Server (2U4N) is only supported in the following Chassis.
- Diskless Chassis
- Up to 16x 2.5" universal backplane
- Up to 16x 2.5" SAS/SATA hard drive backplane
- Up to 16x 2.5" NVMe hard drive backplane
- Up to 8x E3.s NVMe SSDs hard drive backplane
Heatsink & Fans
The Dell C6620 supports both air-cooled and Direct Connect Liquid Cooling (DLC). Liquid Cooling is not supported with all Risers configurations. The tubes for the DLC take over Slot 2. Please read the Riser configuration table below for more detailed information.
The Extended Heat sink (T0FVH) comes with a bracket that will need to be installed in PCIe Slot 2. The Extended Heat Sink is used in the following configurations.
- 2.5” with 1 CPU with a TDP 270W or below.
- E3.S with 2 Socket with TDP 270W or below.
- No Backplane with 2 Socket with TDP 270W or below.
- E3.S with 1 Socket with TDP 350W.
- No Backplane with 1 Socket with TDP 350W.
For more detailed information about the Thermal Restrictions. Please view the manual below and look for "Supported Ambient Temperature".
Memory
On a two-socket configuration, the C6620 can support up to 16 DDR5 DIMs. This node server only supports registered ECC DDR5 DIMM. If a DIMM is not installed a blank must be in its place.

Storage Controllers
The Dell C6620 supports the NVMe and EDSFF Drives with the PERC 12 controller. The H965i PERC 12 controller can handle up to 8 drives per controller without a backplane switch. The system also supports the BOSS-N1 Riser which has 2 M.2 NVMe SSD drives for boot as well as PERC 11 cards.
Dell's RAID controller options offer performance improvements, including the fPERC solution. fPERC 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.
