Edge server barebone

This 2U rackmount barebone is built for edge deployments that need dense storage and Intel Xeon E-2100 processing. It targets system integrators and IT teams assembling custom appliances without starting from a blank chassis.

Capacity and headroom

Four 288-pin slots accept DDR4 2400 or 2666 ECC and non-ECC UDIMMs up to 64 GB total in dual-channel mode. Six trayless hot-swap 3.5-inch bays plus one fixed 3.5-inch bay provide eight SATA 600 ports, while expansion stops at one PCIe 3.0 x16, one x8 and one x4 slot.

Bundled impact

The included 500 W single power supply and zinc-coated steel frame deliver the mechanical and electrical baseline so integrators only add CPU, memory and drives. Rear I/O supplies dual Intel gigabit LAN, four USB 3.0 ports, VGA, HDMI, DisplayPort and a COM port for headless management.

Questions about this item

Will my existing DDR4 2666 ECC UDIMMs work in the four 288-pin slots of this D-260HNBL-C246-1 barebone?

Yes, the board supports dual-channel DDR4 2666/2400 ECC and non-ECC UDIMMs up to 64 GB across the four 288-pin slots.

How can I verify the dual Intel i210 and I219LM gigabit ports are operating at full 1 Gbps after installation?

Check the link LEDs on each RJ45 port and confirm 1 Gbps full-duplex in the OS network adapter settings or switch port status.

Which components are included and which must be purchased separately for this 2U rackmount barebone?

The chassis, C246 motherboard, 500 W PSU, six 3.5" hot-swap trays, one fixed 3.5" bay, and rear I/O panel are included; CPU, memory, drives and rails are not.
