Dual-socket Xeon E5-2660 v3 server

This 2U rack server ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2660 v3 processors, each running at 2.6 GHz with 10 cores. It targets midsize and large enterprises running virtual desktop infrastructure, databases or high-performance computing nodes. The platform supports up to 1.5 TB of DDR4 across 24 slots.

Verify SAS backplane and network uplink

Confirm the chassis provides eight 2.5-inch SAS bays and that the PERC H730 controller matches your RAID requirements. Ensure the X520/I350 daughter card’s two 10 Gb SFP+ and two 1 GbE ports suit the existing switch fabric. Check that the 750 W redundant power supplies connect to the available PDU circuits.

Sustained load with dual CPUs and 256 GB memory

Under continuous workloads both CPUs can maintain 2.6 GHz across all 20 cores while the registered ECC DDR4 operates at 2133 MHz. The H730’s 1 GB cache and battery-backed write-back accelerate sustained write throughput across the eight 1.2 TB 10 K drives. Redundant platinum power supplies share load evenly during extended operation.
