Built for dense storage workloads

This 2U rack server delivers twelve 3.5-inch drive bays, dual Xeon E5-2640 v3 processors at 2.6 GHz and 768 GB of DDR4 ECC memory. The PERC H730 controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 with a battery-backed cache. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC8 Enterprise provide redundancy and remote management out of the box.

Suits virtualization hosts and data-intensive nodes

The twelve-bay chassis and quad-port networking with two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links fit VDI, database and HPC data-node roles. Buyers who need 2.5-inch drive density or more than two processor sockets should consider a different platform.

768 GB DDR4 in twenty-four slots

The system ships with twenty-four 32 GB registered ECC modules running at 2133 MHz, filling every slot and reaching half the 1.5 TB maximum capacity. Any memory upgrade requires replacing existing modules rather than adding to empty slots.

Questions about this item

Will the LGA 2011-3 socket and Intel C610 chipset support the DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC modules I already own?

Yes, the server uses DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC memory and provides 24 slots with a 1.5 TB maximum, so your existing modules will fit and operate at the rated speed.

How can I confirm the PERC H730 controller and X520/I350 network card are active after installation?

Check the iDRAC 8 Enterprise interface for controller firmware version and RAID status, and verify the quad-port NIC shows two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links in the network inventory.

Which drive trays, rails and bezel are included, and do I need to buy drives or SFP+ modules separately?

Twelve 3.5-inch SAS/SATA trays, ready rails and the front bezel are supplied; hard drives and any 10 Gb SFP+ transceivers must be purchased separately.
