  • Dual 750 W redundant power supplies keep the 2U rack server running

Ready for virtualization clusters

This 2U rack server ships with dual Xeon E5-2609v3 six-core processors at 1.9 GHz and 64 GB of DDR4 across 24 DIMM slots. It targets IT teams that need a dense compute node for hypervisor farms, database replicas or batch workloads without investing in newer silicon.

Thermals and power in steady state

Redundant 750 W hot-swap supplies share load so a single failure does not drop the rack. The 2U chassis uses front-to-rear airflow across the CPUs, memory and eight drive bays to keep component temperatures stable under continuous multi-threaded jobs.

Build and connectivity for daily ops

Eight 2.5-inch hot-plug bays accept SAS or SATA drives behind the PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache supporting RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60. A four-port 1 GbE daughter card handles baseline traffic while seven PCIe 3.0 slots plus a dedicated PERC slot leave room for 10 GbE uplinks, HBA cards or GPU accelerators. iDRAC8 Express provides out-of-band management from day one.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 2.5" SAS drives in the hot-plug bays, and which step do people often miss?

Slide each drive into one of the 8 front bays until the latch clicks; the step many miss is pressing the release button fully so the carrier locks and the H730 controller detects the drive.

What maintenance will the redundant 750W power supplies need over time?

Check the front-panel LEDs and iDRAC8 logs for amber warnings; clean the intake fans quarterly and replace a supply only if its status light shows a fault.

Which limit appears first when both E5-2609 v3 CPUs run at 1.9 GHz continuously?

The 750W redundant power budget is the first ceiling; sustained full-core load can draw enough to trigger throttling before the CPUs hit thermal limits.
