Purpose-built dense storage server

This 2U rack system combines two 18-core Xeon processors at 2.3 GHz with 256 GB of DDR4 ECC memory to serve workloads such as data warehousing, VDI and HPC data nodes. Twelve 3.5-inch drive bays provide high-capacity local storage in a compact form factor. It targets midsize and large enterprises that need compute and capacity in one chassis. Buyers seeking a GPU-dense or all-flash array should look elsewhere.

Included controller networking and management

The PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through across the twelve installed 4 TB 7.2K SATA drives. A quad-port daughter card adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links for flexible fabric connectivity. iDRAC 8 Enterprise enables full remote lifecycle management. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies and sliding rails with bezel complete the shipment. No additional software licences or hypervisor media are bundled.

Verify rack power and memory growth

Confirm your rack supplies 2U of vertical space and can deliver sufficient power for dual 750 W units at your voltage. The system uses LGA 2011-3 sockets and DDR4 registered ECC DIMMs; eight of twenty-four slots are populated with 32 GB modules leaving room to reach 1.5 TB total. Network uplinks require SFP+ transceivers or copper cables not included. Ensure your operating environment supports the C610 chipset platform.

Questions about this item

How long before the 750 Watt power supplies or fans need replacement in continuous operation?

The two 750 Watt platinum supplies are hot-swappable; fans are also hot-swappable and can be replaced without shutting down the server.

What limits sustained throughput on the 12-bay 4TB SATA array?

The 7.2K SATA drives and 6 Gb/s backplane set the sequential ceiling; the PERC H730 1GB cache helps random I/O but does not raise the drive link speed.

How loud and hot does the 2U chassis get with both Xeon E5-2699 v3 CPUs at full load all day?

Dual 18-core 2.3 GHz CPUs draw significant power; the 750 W platinum PSUs and redundant fans keep temperatures in spec, but rack airflow must handle the exhaust heat.
