Dual Xeon E5-2680 v3 2U rack server

This 2U rack server ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2680 v3 processors running at 2.5 GHz with a 3.3 GHz turbo frequency. Each CPU provides 12 cores for a total of 24 cores across the system. It targets midsize and large enterprises running data warehouses, e-commerce platforms, virtual desktop infrastructure or high-performance computing workloads.

Redundant power, eight drive trays

The chassis includes two hot-swap 750 W platinum power supplies for redundancy. Eight 2.5-inch SAS/SATA drive trays are fitted, though no drives are installed. A quad-port network daughter card adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections. iDRAC 8 Enterprise provides remote management, while ready rails and a front bezel are included for rack mounting.

128 GB DDR4 ECC with 24 slots for expansion

The system arrives with 128 GB of DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC memory populated across eight 16 GB modules. Twenty-four DIMM slots support a maximum capacity of 1.5 TB. The PERC H730 1 GB controller handles RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through. Buyers who need more memory channels or a newer instruction set will need a different platform.

Questions about this item

What RAID levels does the PERC H730 controller support?

The PERC H730 supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60 plus pass-through mode with its 1GB cache and battery backup.

What physical space and mounting hardware does this 2U server require?

It occupies 2U of rack height and ships with Dell Ready Rails and a front bezel for standard rack mounting.

How are the CPUs and memory installed, and what step is often missed?

Two Xeon E5-2680 v3 processors come pre-installed in the LGA 2011-3 sockets; the 128GB DDR4 2133MHz ECC modules fill 8 of 24 slots — verify the memory configuration matches the dual-processor layout for full channel performance.
