Built for Data-Intensive Workloads

This 2U rack server carries two Intel Xeon E5-2660 v3 processors, each with ten cores running at 2.6 GHz and a 3.3 GHz turbo frequency. The system is populated with 768 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across twenty-four slots. It targets midsize and large enterprises running databases, virtual desktop infrastructure, data warehousing or high-performance computing nodes.

Storage Density and Redundant Power

Twelve 3.5-inch drive bays hold enterprise SATA hard drives spinning at 7.2K rpm, backed by a PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. A quad-port network daughter card adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies and hot-swap capability keep the platform running during module replacement.

Verify Rack Space and Memory Growth

The chassis occupies 2U of rack height and ships with ready rails and a front bezel. The board provides twenty-four DDR4 slots in total, with a maximum supported capacity of 1.5 TB, so further expansion is possible. Confirm that your rack depth and airflow suit a 2U form factor and that the LGA 2011-3 socket platform matches your software licensing and operating-system requirements.

Questions about this item

What storage controller interface does the PERC H730 use and what throughput does it cap at?

The PERC H730 controller connects via 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA, so drive throughput is limited to that link speed.

What physical rails and rack depth does the 2U chassis require for mounting?

Ready Rails are included for tool-less installation in standard 4-post racks; the 2U height fits typical server cabinets.

How are the drives installed and which step is often missed?

Twelve 3.5-inch drives slide into hot-swap bays; the common mistake is not seating each carrier until the latch clicks fully.
