Dual Xeon 6148 compute platform

This 2U rack server arrives with two Intel Xeon Gold 6148 processors running at 2.4 GHz, each providing ten cores and 27.5 MB cache. The chassis supports up to eight 3.5-inch drive bays and includes a PERC H730P RAID controller for SATA storage arrays. One hundred twenty-eight gigabytes of DDR4 ECC registered memory are installed across the available slots.

Sustained multi-threaded throughput

Dual ten-core CPUs deliver twenty threads for parallel workloads such as virtualisation, database serving or batch rendering. The 750-watt redundant power supplies and updated firmware keep clocks stable during extended runs, while the iDRAC9 Enterprise licence allows remote monitoring of thermals and power draw without interrupting the host operating system.

Pre-deployment checklist

Confirm your rack provides 36 inches of depth, 24 inches of width and 10 inches of height clearance for the 40-pound chassis. Verify that the 10 GbE 562T two-port adapter matches your switch cabling and that you have suitable 3.5-inch SATA drives to populate the eight bays. Ensure the facility can supply dual 750-watt feeds for redundant operation.

Questions about this item

How much heat and power should I expect from the two 2.4 GHz Xeon Gold 6148 processors running continuously?

The server uses two 750 W power supplies; each Xeon Gold 6148 is a 10-core 2.4 GHz CPU with 27.5 MB cache, so sustained load will draw significant power and require adequate rack airflow.

Which drive trays and cables must I already have to populate the eight 3.5-inch bays?

The chassis provides eight 3.5-inch LFF bays with a SATA backplane connected to the PERC H730P controller; you need compatible 3.5-inch SATA drives and the Dell drive carriers for this model.

Will the integrated graphics and iDRAC9 work with my older KVM switch and monitoring tools?

Integrated graphics provide basic local video output, and iDRAC9 Enterprise offers remote console and management over IP, which can supplement or replace legacy KVM access.
