2U 12-Bay Rack Server

This 2U rack server provides twelve 3.5-inch drive bays, dual 14-core Intel Xeon E5-2660 v4 processors at 2.0 GHz with 3.2 GHz turbo, and 128 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory. It ships with a PERC H730 controller, twelve 4 TB 7.2K SATA drives, quad-port networking with dual 10 Gb SFP+ and dual 1 GbE, iDRAC8 Enterprise, and redundant 750 W platinum power supplies.

Storage-Dense Virtualisation Host

Suited for workloads that prioritise raw capacity and memory bandwidth in a compact chassis, such as data warehouses, virtual desktop infrastructure, or HPC data nodes. Buyers who require solid-state performance or more than twelve internal bays should consider a different platform.

PERC H730 RAID Controller

The installed PERC H730 1 GB controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through for SAS and SATA drives. It determines which drive types and array configurations are possible without adding a second controller.

Questions about this item

What thermal limit appears first when both Xeon E5-2660 v4 processors run at 3.2 GHz turbo?

The dual 14-core CPUs share 750 W platinum supplies; sustained turbo draws enough current that the power budget becomes the first ceiling.

How loud and hot does the chassis get with all twelve 7.2 K drives spinning continuously?

Redundant 750 W platinum units feed efficient 2 U airflow; fan speed ramps with inlet temperature so noise and heat rise gradually under full drive load.

Which networking hardware must already be in place for the X520/I350 daughter card to provide 10 Gb links?

The card exposes two SFP+ ports; compatible 10 Gb SFP+ transceivers and matching switch ports are required to activate the 10 GbE connections.
