2U rackmount barebone with Xeon E-2100 support

This 2U server barebone accepts Intel Xeon E-2100 processors in an LGA 1151 socket on the Intel C246 chipset. Four DDR4 slots support up to 64 GB of ECC or non-ECC memory in dual-channel mode. A 500 W single power supply is included, and the chassis is built from zinc-coated steel for edge workloads.

Suited for single-socket edge deployments needing

The six trayless hot-swap bays plus one internal 3.5-inch bay serve workloads that demand quick drive replacement. Builders who require dual-processor capability, redundant power supplies or more than three PCIe slots should consider a different platform.

Single 500 W power supply limits redundancy

Only one 500 W unit is fitted, so the system has no fail-over if that supply fails. Organisations that mandate redundant power for uptime guarantees cannot meet that requirement with this barebone.

Questions about this item

How do I install a CPU into the LGA 1151 socket on this 2U barebone?

Align the Intel Xeon E-2100 processor notches with the socket keys, lower the retention lever gently, and ensure the cooler mounting holes match the board layout before securing the heatsink.

What memory maintenance or replacement will the 4 x 288Pin slots need later?

The board supports dual-channel DDR4 2666/2400 ECC or non-ECC UDIMMs up to 64GB total; replace failed sticks with identical speed and ECC type to keep dual-channel operation.

What limit appears first when the 500W single PSU runs sustained loads?

The 500W power budget caps combined CPU, memory, eight SATA 600 drives, and PCIe 3.0 cards; exceeding it triggers shutdown before thermal limits are reached.
