Built for virtualisation hosts and database clusters

This 2U rack server ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2630 v3 eight-core processor running at 2.4 GHz and 16 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. Eight 146 GB 15 K SAS drives and the Smart HBA H240ar controller provide hardware RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 for mixed read-write workloads. The Matrox G200eH2 graphics chip handles console output only.

Tool-less rails and hot-swap bays simplify rack

Slide the chassis into a standard 2U space, connect redundant 500 W supplies and press the release levers to seat drives or power modules without a screwdriver. The H240ar controller initialises arrays during POST; a failed drive lights its bay amber and rebuilds automatically when a replacement is inserted. Memory population rules require matching DIMMs per channel, so install kits in multiples of twelve per processor to avoid reduced bandwidth.

Verify rack depth, power feeds

Measure the cabinet depth against the 2U chassis length and confirm two independent PDU circuits for the redundant supplies. The board offers 24 DDR4 slots but only twelve are usable with one processor; adding a second CPU unlocks the remaining slots and raises the ceiling to 3 TB. NVMe kits occupy bay two only, while a universal media bay fits bay three — plan bay allocation before ordering extra drive cages.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the E5-2630 v3 2.4GHz CPU and 16GB DDR4 are recognised after first boot?

Enter the UEFI System Utilities on boot; the processor information screen will show one eight-core Xeon at 2.4GHz with 16 virtual threads and the memory tab will list 16GB DDR4 across the 24 DIMM slots.

What ships inside the chassis and what must I source separately?

The unit includes one E5-2630 v3 processor, 16GB DDR4, eight 146GB 15K SAS drives in trays, the H240ar RAID controller and two 500W redundant power supplies; rails, operating system and any additional processors or memory are not included.

Which drive-bay version should I choose if I want to add NVME later?

Select the 8 SFF bay configuration; the NVME option occupies bay 2 only, so the standard eight-bay layout leaves that bay free for a future six-drive NVME upgrade.
