2U Rack Server for Dense Storage

This 2U rack server ships with dual 14-core Xeon processors running at 2.4 GHz and 128 GB of DDR4 memory. The chassis provides 24 front-accessible 2.5-inch drive bays populated with 600 GB SAS drives and a PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache. Dual 750 W power supplies and iDRAC 8 Enterprise management are included.

Suits Virtualisation and Database Nodes

Organisations running virtual desktop infrastructure, data-warehouse workloads or high-performance computing data nodes will match the core count and storage density. Buyers who need more than two processor sockets, more than 1.5 TB of memory, or storage interfaces other than SAS and SATA should evaluate other platforms.

PERC H730 RAID Controller Decides Fit

The installed PERC H730 supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through modes with a 1 GB cache backed by battery. If your workload requires a different RAID feature set or a controller without battery-backed cache, this server will not meet that requirement.

Questions about this item

How often will the H730 controller battery need replacement?

The PERC H730 includes a 1GB cache battery that typically lasts three to five years; plan replacement when the iDRAC8 Enterprise dashboard reports degraded capacity.

What thermal limit appears first when both 14-core Xeons run at 3.3 GHz Turbo continuously?

The two 750 Watt Platinum supplies share load, but sustained Turbo on 28 total cores can push chassis inlet temperature toward the 35 °C design limit before CPU throttling activates.

How loud are the fans when the 24 SAS drives and both CPUs operate 24/7?

Redundant hot-swap fans ramp to high RPM under full drive and CPU load, producing noticeable airflow noise typical for a dense 2U rack server in a data-centre aisle.
