Server for storage-intensive workloads

This 2U rack server ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2680 v4 processors running at 2.4 GHz with a 3.3 GHz turbo frequency. Each processor provides 14 cores for a total of 28 cores. The system includes 512 GB of DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC memory across 16 DIMM slots. A Dell PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60.

Suits enterprises needing dense 3.5-inch drive

Twelve hot-swap 3.5-inch trays accept SATA or SAS hard drives for large-capacity storage arrays. Quad-port networking delivers two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections. iDRAC 8 Enterprise enables full remote management. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies provide redundancy. Builders who need more than two processors or 2.5-inch drive bays should evaluate other platforms.

Storage controller determines drive compatibility

The PERC H730 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA controller with battery-backed cache manages all attached drives and defines the supported RAID levels. Memory can expand to 1.5 TB using the 24 available slots. The LGA 2011-3 socket and Intel C610 chipset fix the processor generation.

Questions about this item

How much power do the two 750 Watt Platinum supplies draw when the server runs continuously?

Each supply is rated at 750 Watt Platinum efficiency; actual draw depends on workload but the redundant pair shares the load.

Which drives and caddies must I supply to populate the 12 front bays?

The chassis includes 12 empty 3.5" SAS/SATA trays; you provide 3.5" SAS or SATA hard drives or SSDs.

Will my existing 10 Gb SFP+ switches connect directly to the onboard X520 ports?

Yes, the Intel X520/I350 daughter card exposes two 10 Gb SFP+ ports compatible with standard SFP+ optics.
