Rack server with dual 14-core Gold 6132 CPUs

Suits virtualisation hosts needing core density

Buyers who need more than eight 2.5-inch drive bays or a different backplane type should look elsewhere. The H730P RAID controller manages the four installed 300 GB 10K SAS drives. Remote management is handled by iDRAC9 Enterprise.

Eight 2.5-inch drive bays with H730P RAID controller

The chassis supports a maximum of eight 2.5-inch drives and the H730P card provides hardware RAID. Four bays are populated with 300 GB 10K SAS drives. Up to eight PCIe Gen 3 slots are available for expansion cards.
