Dual Xeon Gold 6134 server

This 2U rack server ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 6134 processors at 3.2 GHz base and 3.7 GHz turbo, each providing eight cores for a total of sixteen cores. It includes 512 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across sixteen 32 GB modules. The system targets software-defined storage, service-provider workloads and virtual desktop infrastructure deployments.

PERC H730P and twelve 8 TB drives

A Dell PERC H730P 2 GB controller with battery backup enables RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. Twelve Dell Enterprise 8 TB 7.2K SATA 3.5-inch hard drives are pre-installed, delivering raw capacity for large datasets. The Intel X520/I350 daughter card adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports, while iDRAC9 Enterprise provides dedicated remote management.

Check rack depth and power before ordering

Verify that your rack accommodates a 2U chassis with the included ready rails and front bezel. Confirm the facility can supply redundant 750 W platinum power connections for both hot-swap units. Ensure the LGA 3647 socket and Intel C620 chipset match any planned processor upgrades, and that the twenty-four DDR4 slots align with future memory expansion.

Questions about this item

How often will the PERC H730P controller battery need replacement?

The PERC H730P includes a 2GB cache battery that typically lasts 3 to 5 years; plan to replace it when iDRAC9 Enterprise reports a degraded state.

Which component hits its ceiling first during continuous 10 GbE SFP+ traffic?

The Intel X520/I350 daughter card provides 2× 10 GbE SFP+ ports; sustained line-rate throughput is limited by the 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA controller and 7.2K SATA drives.

What is the power draw and heat output with both 750 W PSUs running 24/7?

Dual 750 W Platinum PSUs share load; typical draw under full CPU, memory and 12-drive activity stays well within the redundant supply capacity.
