Purpose-built density

This 2U rack server ships with a single six-core Intel Xeon E5-2609 v3 at 1.9GHz and 128GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory across 24 DIMM slots. It targets teams that need immediate compute density for virtualisation, database or application workloads without waiting for a custom build. Buyers who require dual-socket performance or GPU acceleration from day one should look elsewhere.

Storage foundation

Two 1TB 7.2K 2.5-inch SAS drives and the Smart HBA H240ar controller deliver hardware RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 out of the box. The 12Gb SAS and 6Gb SATA links let you mix spindles and solid-state media later. The package includes no operating system, so administrators must supply their own hypervisor or OS licences.

Rack-ready resilience

Redundant 500W hot-swap power supplies keep the platform running during a module failure. Eight small-form-factor bays support future expansion to 16 or 24 drives with optional cages, while a universal media bay or NVMe option can occupy specific bays. The Matrox G200eH2 graphics provides basic console output for headless management.

Questions about this item

Will the DDR4 ECC registered memory modules need replacement if I expand beyond the 128GB installed?

The server has 24 DIMM slots supporting up to 3TB total; all 128GB currently occupies some slots, so adding larger 16GB, 32GB or 64GB DDR4 modules is possible without removing existing ones.

What component hits its ceiling first when the Xeon E5-2609 v3 runs at 1.9GHz continuously?

The single installed processor tops out at six cores and 1.9GHz; a second Xeon can be added for up to 12 cores total, but the existing CPU itself is the primary compute limit.

How loud and hot does the 2U chassis get with both 500W redundant supplies loaded all day?

Redundant hot-swap 500W supplies share the load, keeping each unit cooler and fan speeds lower than a single supply would run at full capacity.
