Capacity & form factor

This is a 2U rack-mount server that fits twelve 3.5-inch hot-plug drive bays. It ships with three 300 GB 15 K SAS drives, 32 GB of DDR4 memory and dual Xeon E5-2609 v3 six-core processors running at 1.9 GHz. The chassis includes redundant 750 W power supplies and a Perc H330 RAID controller.

Who it suits and who it does not

The system suits buyers who need dense 3.5-inch SAS or SATA storage with hardware RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 or 60 in a compact rack footprint. It does not suit buyers who require more than twelve drive bays, faster all-flash performance or additional PCIe expansion beyond the six available slots.

Memory ceiling

The installed 32 GB of DDR4 already reaches the maximum memory capacity supported by this configuration. Any workload that demands more RAM cannot be accommodated without a different server platform.
