  • Redundant Hot-swap PowerYes
  • CPU TypeIntel Xeon
  • CPU Speed2.5 GHz
  • CPU SocketLGA 2011-3

Installed Memory Size 512GB

HDD 24 x 1.2TB 10K SAS

  • Dual 12-core Xeon E5-2680 v3 processors deliver 24 threads at 2.5 GHz base with 3.3 GHz turbo
  • 512 GB DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC memory across 16 modules leaves 8 slots open for expansion
  • PERC H730 1 GB controller supports RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 for flexible data protection
  • 24 × 1.2 TB 10K SAS drives provide high-capacity, high-IOPS storage in a 2U chassis
  • Quad-port X520/I350 card adds 2 × 10 Gb SFP+ and 2 × 1 GbE links for fast networking

Dense 24-bay 2U server for storage-heavy workloads

This 2U rack server packs twenty-four 2.5-inch drive bays into a compact chassis, making it a high-density platform for storage-intensive applications. Dual Intel Xeon E5-2680 v3 processors deliver twenty-four total cores at 2.5 GHz with 3.3 GHz turbo, while 512 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across sixteen 32 GB modules supports large working sets. The PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache provides hardware RAID across all bays, and dual 750 W platinum power supplies add redundancy.

Suited for databases and virtualisation hosts

Organisations running data warehouses, e-commerce databases or virtual desktop infrastructure benefit from the combination of high core count, large memory capacity and twenty-four 1.2 TB 10K SAS drives. The quad-port network daughter card supplies two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links for flexible connectivity. Buyers who need more than two processors, more than 1.5 TB of memory or drive interfaces other than SAS and SATA should evaluate alternative platforms.

Twenty-four 1.2 TB SAS drives

The single specification that determines suitability is the storage subsystem: twenty-four 1.2 TB 10K SAS disks behind a PERC H730 controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. If the workload requires this many high-speed SAS spindles with hardware RAID in a 2U form factor, the server matches; if the application needs solid-state tiers, different drive counts or alternative controller features, the configuration will not align.

Questions about this item

What DDR4 memory speed do I need for the 24 DIMM slots?

The server runs DDR4 at 2133 MHz; all 24 slots are populated with 32 GB registered ECC modules for a total of 512 GB.

Can the PERC H730 controller use my existing SATA drives alongside the 24 installed SAS disks?

Yes, the H730 supports both SAS and SATA, so you can add SATA drives to the remaining bays while the 1.2 TB SAS drives handle the current arrays.

How do I verify the iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management is active after power-on?

Connect to the iDRAC network port, log in with the default credentials, and confirm the firmware version and system health dashboard appear in the web interface.
