Dual-socket Xeon Gold 6130 server

This 2U rack server ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors running at 2.1 GHz, each providing 16 cores for a total of 32 cores. It is built for organisations that need strong multi-threaded throughput in a compact rack footprint.

256 GB DDR4 registered ECC memory

The system includes 256 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across eight 32 GB modules, with 16 slots in total supporting up to 1 TB. Buyers who need more memory capacity than 1 TB must choose a different platform.

Eight 8 TB SAS drives on H730P controller

Eight 7.2K RPM 8 TB SAS drives connect to a Dell PERC H730P 2 GB controller that supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 with battery-backed cache. Sustained write throughput is limited by the 7.2K spindle speed and 12 Gb/s SAS interface.

Questions about this item

What does the 2.1 GHz base speed and 3.7 GHz turbo mean for real-world workloads?

The dual Xeon Gold 6130 processors run at 2.1 GHz base and can boost to 3.7 GHz, giving 32 total cores for virtualization and database tasks.

What does the H730P 12 Gb/s SAS controller cap in practice?

The PERC H730P supports 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA with RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through, limited by the eight 7.2K SAS drives installed.

How much rack depth does the 2U chassis with rails require?

The 2U rackmount chassis includes sliding rails for standard four-post cabinets; exact depth depends on the rail adjustment range.
