Dual Intel Gold 6126 12-core platform

This 2U rack server ships with two Intel Gold 6126 processors running at 2.6GHz, each providing 12 cores and 19.25M cache. The 256GB DDR4 memory kit uses 16 modules of 16GB PC4-2666. It targets organisations that need dense compute for virtualisation, database or high-performance workloads in a standard rack footprint.

H730P RAID controller with eight SAS SSDs

The PERC H730P manages the eight 800GB SAS SSDs installed in the 2.5-inch drive bays, delivering hardware RAID with cache protection for consistent I/O. Integrated Intel X550 networking adds two 10Gb RJ45 and two 1Gb RJ45 ports for flexible fabric connectivity. Redundant 1100W power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management are included with rails, bezel and power cords.

PCIe Gen 3 expansion ceiling

Up to eight PCIe Gen 3 slots are available for additional adapters, but the Gen 3 interface caps lane bandwidth below newer Gen 4 or Gen 5 standards. The chassis supports only 2.5-inch drives, so 3.5-inch media cannot be fitted. No optical drive bay is present, and the system is not eligible for export.

Questions about this item

How often will the 800GB SAS SSD drives need replacement under heavy write workloads?

Enterprise SAS SSDs in the H730P array are rated for high endurance; typical replacement cycles extend several years depending on daily write volume and RAID level chosen.

What thermal limit appears first when both Gold 6126 CPUs run at 2.6GHz continuously?

The 2U chassis airflow design targets CPU package temperature; sustained full load will hit the processor thermal ceiling before memory or VRM throttling occurs.

How loud are the fans and what power draw should I expect with all 16 DDR4 modules and 8 drives active?

Redundant 1100W supplies feed the system; fan speed ramps with inlet temperature, producing noticeable but datacentre-typical acoustics while drawing several hundred watts under load.
