Dual Intel Xeon Gold 5118 processors each provide 12 cores at 2.3 GHz with a 3.2 GHz turbo frequency. The system ships with 32 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across four modules and supports up to 384 GB total.

Flexible chassis for data-intensive workloads

Eight 3.5-inch drive bays are populated with 8 TB 7.2K SAS drives delivering 64 TB of raw capacity. The PERC H740P controller with 8 GB cache enables RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. Dual embedded Gigabit Ethernet ports and iDRAC 9 Enterprise provide network connectivity and remote management out of the box.

Redundant platinum power and intelligent cooling

Two hot-swap 750 W platinum-efficiency power supplies deliver N+1 redundancy for continuous operation. Dell's thermal design manages heat from the dual-socket LGA 3647 configuration across the 2U form factor. Ready Rails and a front bezel are included for standard rack deployment.
