Dual-socket Xeon server for virtualised workloads

This 2U rack system ships with two 16-core Xeon E5-2683 v4 processors at 2.1 GHz and 64 GB of DDR4-2400 ECC memory. The PERC H730 controller manages eight 2.4 TB 10 K SAS drives in RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 or 60. Dual 10 Gb SFP+ and dual 1 GbE ports plus iDRAC8 Enterprise give remote control and fast network throughput for virtualisation clusters or database nodes.

Check rack space and network cabling

The chassis occupies 2U of rack height and includes ready rails, so verify depth clearance and rail compatibility with your cabinet. Confirm the power circuits can supply two 750 W platinum supplies on redundant hot-swap feeds. Ensure SFP+ transceivers and fibre or copper patch cables match the X520/I350 daughter card ports you plan to use.

Dual 750 W supplies share load for cooler running

Redundant platinum-efficiency units split the load, lowering per-supply heat and fan speed in normal operation. Hot-swap capability lets you replace a unit without shutting down, keeping airflow stable. The 2.5-inch drive bay layout and directed front-to-rear cooling keep drive and CPU temperatures steady under typical virtualisation or database loads.

Questions about this item

What comes with the server and what must I add myself?

The unit ships with two Xeon E5-2683 v4 processors, 64GB DDR4 in four 16GB modules, eight 2.4TB SAS drives, PERC H730 controller, X520/I350 quad-port network card, iDRAC8 Enterprise, dual 750W supplies, rails and bezel. No extra components are required for operation.

Should I choose a different drive count or capacity for this configuration?

This listing is fixed at eight 2.4TB 10K SAS drives filling every 2.5" bay. The PERC H730 supports RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60, so the installed set can be reconfigured, but capacity cannot be expanded without removing drives.

How does the 2.1GHz base clock behave under load in this dual-socket build?

Each 16-core Xeon E5-2683 v4 can turbo to 3.0GHz depending on thermal headroom and active core count. With both sockets populated and 64GB DDR4-2400 installed, sustained frequencies will vary with workload intensity and cooling.
