  • 2U rack design fits standard cabinets with room for a second CPU

Target workloads

This 2U rack server ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2670 v3 processor at 2.3 GHz and 16 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. The chassis supports a second CPU for up to 36 total cores and 24 DIMM slots, making it suited to virtualisation hosts, database nodes or general-purpose compute clusters that need room to grow. Dual 500 W redundant power supplies and the Smart HBA H240ar controller with RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 complete a balanced enterprise foundation.

Ideal versus alternate buyers

Organisations that want a dense, hot-swap 3.5-inch drive platform with redundant power and the ability to scale memory to 3 TB will find the configuration practical. Buyers who need drives included in the box, a pre-installed operating system, or a smaller form factor for office deployment should evaluate other platforms.

Deciding specification

Twelve large-form-factor bays with included trays and a 12 Gb SAS / 6 Gb SATA RAID controller define the storage capacity of this system. If the workload demands more than twelve 3.5-inch drives or requires a different controller feature set, this chassis will not satisfy the requirement.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the single E5-2670 v3 or add a second processor?

The chassis supports up to two processors; a second E5-2670 v3 would raise the core count to 24 and enable the full 24 DIMM slots for memory expansion.

What does the 12-core 2.3 GHz Xeon deliver in this server?

Twelve cores at 2.3 GHz with hyper-threading give 24 threads, suited for virtualisation, databases and multi-threaded workloads within the 2U form factor.

How does the H240ar controller's 12 Gb SAS and 6 Gb SATA interface limit drive performance?

The controller caps SAS drives at 12 Gb/s and SATA drives at 6 Gb/s, so SSD throughput will not exceed those link speeds.
