Dual 18-core Xeon server for virtualisation

This 2U rack server ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2699 v3 processors, each running at 2.3 GHz with 18 cores and a 3.6 GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 256 GB of DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC memory across 24 slots, supporting up to 1.5 TB total capacity for memory-intensive workloads.

IT teams running virtualised databases.

The eight 2.5-inch drive bays are populated with 1.2 TB 10K SAS disks managed by a PERC H730 controller offering RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Organisations needing GPU compute or more than eight internal drives will need a different platform.

PERC H730 1 GB SAS controller

Storage performance hinges on the H730 RAID card and its 1 GB cache driving eight 12 Gb/s SAS hard disks in a hardware RAID configuration. The controller also supports JBOD pass-through if software-defined storage is preferred.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 2.5" SAS drives into the 8-bay front chassis and which step is often missed?

Slide each 1.2TB 10K SAS drive into a front bay until the carrier clicks; the step often missed is pressing the release latch fully so the drive locks into the backplane.

What maintenance will the PERC H730 controller need later?

The H730 includes a 1GB battery-backed cache; the battery will need replacement after several years to keep write-back caching protected during power loss.

What thermal limit appears first when both 18-core Xeon E5-2699 v3 CPUs run at 3.6GHz turbo under sustained load?

The 2U chassis with dual 750W platinum PSUs will hit its cooling capacity before the CPUs reach their maximum turbo frequency for extended periods.
