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.

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.
