24-bay 2U rack server

This 2U rack system delivers 24 hot-swap 2.5-inch drive bays in a compact chassis. Dual Intel Xeon 14-core processors at 2.0 GHz with 3.2 GHz turbo provide 28 total cores. The unit ships with 512 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 16 slots and includes rails and bezel.

Suited for dense storage workloads.

This server targets midsize and large enterprise workloads such as data warehousing, e-commerce platforms, virtual desktop infrastructure, databases and high-performance computing data nodes. Buyers needing GPU acceleration or more than two processor sockets should consider alternative platforms.

PERC H730 controller with 24 × 1.2 TB SAS drives

The PERC H730 1 GB cache controller manages 24 enterprise 1.2 TB 10K SAS drives at 12 Gb/s with RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 support plus pass-through mode. This storage configuration determines whether the system meets capacity and performance requirements.

Questions about this item

Will the 24-bay 2.5" chassis and PERC H730 controller support my existing 12Gb/s SAS drives and backplane?

Yes — the chassis provides 24 hot-swap 2.5" bays wired to the PERC H730 12Gb/s SAS/SATA controller, so your current 12Gb/s SAS drives will connect directly.

How can I confirm the dual Xeon E5-2660 v4 14-core CPUs and 512GB DDR4 are recognised after installation?

Check the iDRAC8 Enterprise dashboard or the BIOS POST screen; both will show 2 processors, 28 total cores, and 512GB registered ECC DDR4 at 2400MHz.

Which items ship with the server and what must I source separately?

The unit ships with 24× 1.2TB 10K SAS drives, dual 750W Platinum PSUs, Ready Rails, front bezel, X520/I350 quad-port card and iDRAC8 Enterprise; extra drives, SFP+ modules, OS licences and rack screws are not included.
