Dual Xeon E5-2640 v3 2U Server

This 2U rack server ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2640 v3 processors running at 2.6 GHz with a 3.4 GHz turbo frequency. Each CPU provides eight cores, giving sixteen cores in total. The system includes 512 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across sixteen 32 GB modules. A Dell PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache manages storage and supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60.

High-Capacity Memory and Dense Storage Bays

Organisations running virtualisation clusters, database nodes or data-warehouse workloads can use the twenty-four DIMM slots to grow memory up to 1.5 TB. The twenty-four 2.5-inch drive bays accept SATA or SAS devices behind the H730 controller. Buyers who need more than two processors or who require memory technologies other than DDR4 should consider different platforms.

Twenty-Four 2.5-Inch Hot-Swap Drive Bays

The chassis provides twenty-four front-accessible 2.5-inch bays for SATA or SAS drives. Two 400 GB SATA SSDs are installed and the H730 controller can manage the remaining bays in any supported RAID mode. This bay count is the key constraint for storage density planning.

Questions about this item

How many DDR4 memory slots remain free for future upgrades?

Sixteen of the twenty-four slots are occupied by 32 GB modules, leaving eight slots available for additional DDR4 registered ECC memory up to the 1.5 TB maximum.

What limits sustained throughput on the storage controller?

The PERC H730 controller provides 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA bandwidth, so the 6 Gb/s SATA SSDs and any additional SATA drives will saturate the link before the controller does.

How loud and hot does the server run with both 750 W power supplies loaded?

Dual 750 W platinum-efficiency supplies share the load, and the 2U chassis uses redundant hot-swap fans to keep temperatures stable during continuous operation.
