The 1U, one-socket PowerEdge R470 is Dell’s 17th generation single-socket rack server, built for the jobs where one modern socket has to do two-socket work. It pairs Intel Xeon 6 processors with DDR5 memory and PCIe Gen 5 I/O in a 1U chassis, so a dense rack of single-socket nodes can replace older two-socket fleets at lower power and licensing cost.
Buying: IO South sources the PowerEdge R470 new and refurbished, configured to your spec, with a warranty on refurbished units. Selling: we also buy R470 servers from businesses consolidating or changing direction. Request a quote, or get an offer on the servers you have.
| Form factor | 1U, one-socket rack server (Dell 17th generation) |
|---|---|
| Processor | One Intel Xeon 6 processor with Performance-cores (6500P and 6700P series) |
| Memory | DDR5 RDIMM, speeds up to 6400 MT/s depending on the processor |
| Storage | 2.5-inch SAS, SATA and NVMe layouts, plus EDSFF E3.S NVMe options; hot-plug bays |
| RAID and boot | Dell PERC hardware RAID controllers; BOSS-N1 boot-optimized card |
| Expansion | PCIe Gen 5 slots, configuration dependent |
| Networking | OCP 3.0 and PCIe network adapters from 1 GbE up to high-speed Ethernet |
| Management | Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC) with Express, Enterprise and Datacenter licenses |
| Power | Single or dual redundant hot-plug power supplies |
| Operating systems | Windows Server, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, Ubuntu Server, VMware ESXi |
Specifications above follow Dell published figures for the R470 platform; exact options depend on the configuration ordered.
Virtualization hosts, databases, scale-out compute, software-defined storage nodes and consolidation projects where a high core-count single socket replaces an aging two-socket server. Because Xeon 6 puts two-socket core counts on one socket, the R470 is the natural refresh target for R640, R740 and similar fleets: fewer sockets to license, fewer watts per node, the same or more cores per rack unit.
The R360 sits below the R470 as the entry one-socket server on Intel Xeon E-2400 for file, print, domain and branch work. The R570 sits alongside with more expansion and memory headroom in the same 17th generation. The R470 is the dense middle: one Xeon 6 socket, DDR5 and PCIe Gen 5 in 1U, for real compute at single-socket cost.
We hold and source real inventory rather than brokering, configure to your spec, and warranty refurbished units. Because we also buy hardware back, the R640, R740 or R650 fleet you are replacing can fund part of the refresh, and many customers run the upgrade and the buyback as one conversation. Call 855-272-5044 or email info@iosouth.com, or browse all Dell PowerEdge servers.
It depends on the configuration: which Intel Xeon 6 processor, how much DDR5 memory, the drive layout and the PERC controller move the number more than anything else. Send us the config you need, or the one you have, and we quote it the same business day, new or refurbished.
Both are 17th generation PowerEdge rack servers on Intel Xeon 6. The R470 is the 1U one-socket box; the R570 steps up in expansion and memory capacity. Pick the R470 when one modern socket covers the workload and rack space is tight, the R570 when you need more drives, more PCIe or more memory headroom in the same generation.
Yes. IO South buys R470 and other current-generation PowerEdge servers from businesses consolidating, moving to the cloud or changing direction, single units or whole racks. Call 855-272-5044 or email info@iosouth.com with the config and quantity and we come back with an offer.
Yes. Processor, memory, drives, RAID controller, network cards and power supplies are all configurable. Send the spec or the workload and we build the quote around it, new or refurbished with a warranty on refurbished units.
