Dual Xeon E5-2680 v4 2U Server

This 2U rack server ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2680 v4 processors running at 2.4 GHz with 14 cores each. The system includes 256 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots. It targets midsize and large enterprises running virtualisation, databases or high-performance computing workloads.

PERC H730 Controller with Eight 800 GB SSDs

The Dell PERC H730 1 GB controller provides RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through modes. Eight 800 GB SATA solid-state drives are installed in the 2.5-inch drive bays. The X520/I350 daughter card adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ network ports. iDRAC8 Enterprise enables remote management.

1.5 TB Maximum Memory Capacity

The platform supports up to 1.5 TB of DDR4 memory when all 24 slots are populated. Buyers who need more than the installed 256 GB must plan additional modules separately. Two 750 W platinum power supplies and ready rails are included for redundant power and rack mounting.

Questions about this item

Will the PERC H730 controller battery need replacement later?

The PERC H730 includes a battery-backed cache module; plan to swap it every three to five years to keep write-back caching safe.

What limits sustained compute throughput first?

The two Xeon E5-2680 v4 CPUs hit their 3.3 GHz turbo ceiling under heavy load, so clock speed becomes the bottleneck before memory bandwidth.

How loud and hot does it run with both 750 W PSUs loaded all day?

Dual platinum supplies and redundant hot-swap fans keep the 2U chassis cool; expect noticeable but datacentre-grade fan noise at full tilt.
