  • Dual 10-core Xeon processors at 2.6 GHz base with 3.3 GHz turbo for heavy workloads
  • 128 GB DDR4 registered ECC memory across 8 modules for reliable virtualisation capacity
  • PERC H730 1 GB controller supports RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 for flexible data protection
  • Quad-port networking with dual 1 GbE and dual 10 Gb SFP+ for high-throughput connectivity
  • iDRAC 8 Enterprise enables remote management and monitoring without physical access

Dual Xeon E5-2660 v3 server for virtualisation

This 2U rack system ships with two 10-core Intel Xeon E5-2660 v3 processors running at 2.6 GHz with 3.3 GHz turbo. The 128 GB of registered DDR4 ECC memory across 24 slots supports dense virtual machine deployments. It targets midsize enterprises running databases, VDI or high-performance computing nodes.

PERC H730 RAID controller

The Dell PERC H730 1 GB controller provides RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode backed by a battery. Eight 2.5-inch 10 K SAS drives deliver 600 GB each for high-throughput storage arrays. A quad-port network daughter card adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections for flexible fabric integration.

Check rack depth, power circuits

The chassis requires a standard 2U rack aperture and includes ready rails plus a front bezel. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies demand two independent PDU feeds for full redundancy. Verify that your existing SAS cabling and backplane match the 12 Gb/s controller before installation.

Questions about this item

How many DDR4 memory slots remain free for future upgrades?

The system has 24 DDR4 slots total and currently uses eight 16 GB modules, leaving 16 slots open for additional registered ECC memory up to the 1.5 TB maximum.

Which component reaches its limit first during continuous heavy workloads?

The two Xeon E5-2660 v3 processors each have 10 cores running at 2.6 GHz with a 3.3 GHz turbo ceiling, so CPU throughput will saturate before the 128 GB DDR4 capacity or the PERC H730 controller bandwidth.

What noise and heat levels should I expect when the server runs 24/7 with both 750 W platinum power supplies active?

Dual 750 W platinum units share the load efficiently, and the 2U chassis uses redundant hot-swap fans that ramp up under sustained compute demand, producing typical rack-server acoustics and exhaust heat for this class.
