Dense 24-bay 2.5" server with single 18-core Xeon

This 2U rackmount chassis fits up to 24 small-form-factor drives and ships with one Intel Xeon E5-2697 v4 processor running at 2.3 GHz with 18 cores and 45 MB cache. The system includes 384 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H730 SAS RAID controller. Dual 1100 W power supplies and iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management come standard.

Suits storage-heavy workloads that need many bays

Buyers who require two processors from day one should note only one socket is populated. The integrated graphics and single 10 GbE plus 1 GbE network card may limit GPU-accelerated or higher-bandwidth deployments. No drives are installed, so storage must be sourced separately.

Single Xeon E5-2697 v4 18-core processor decides fit

The installed CPU provides 18 cores at 2.3 GHz with 45 MB cache and the board supports a second identical processor up to a 768 GB memory ceiling. If the workload demands more cores or faster clocks than this specific part delivers, a different server is required.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 2.5 inch drives in the 24 SFF bays and what step is often missed?

Slide each drive into a bay until the latch clicks, then verify the PERC H730 controller sees every disk in the BIOS before creating any RAID volume.

Which components will need replacement first during long-term operation?

The two 1100W power supplies and the system fans are the primary field-replaceable units that wear out under continuous load.

What thermal or power limit appears first when the Xeon E5-2697 v4 runs at full 18 core load?

The 1100W power supply rating and the chassis cooling capacity set the practical ceiling for sustained 2.3GHz all-core performance.
