Ready for virtualisation and database workloads

This 2U rack server ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 5118 processors, each running at 2.3 GHz with 12 cores, giving 24 cores total. It includes 512 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 16 slots and a PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache. Eight 800 GB SATA SSDs provide high-speed storage out of the box.

Suits consolidation and high-availability clusters

Organisations that need dense compute, redundant 750 W power supplies and remote management via iDRAC 9 Enterprise will find the platform well matched. Buyers who require more than 512 GB of memory, additional drive bays beyond the eight 2.5‑inch slots, or a different network interface should evaluate other platforms.

Dual-socket 24-core configuration decides fit

The installed CPU count is fixed at two sockets with 12 cores each, so the maximum thread count is set at purchase. If the workload demands more than 24 physical cores or a single-socket design, this server will not meet the requirement.

Questions about this item

Does the server ship with the 8× 800 GB SSDs already installed in the 2.5″ bays, or must I buy drives separately?

Eight Dell Enterprise 800 GB SATA SSDs come pre-installed in the eight 2.5″ drive bays, so no additional drives are required for a full population.

The listing shows 512 GB of DDR4 in 16× 32 GB modules — does that fill all 24 slots or leave room for expansion?

Sixteen 32 GB registered ECC modules occupy 16 of the 24 DDR4 slots, leaving 8 slots free for future memory upgrades up to the 3 TB maximum.

With the PERC H730P controller and eight 800 GB SATA SSDs, what RAID levels can I configure for the array?

The H730P supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60, so any of those levels can be created across the eight installed SSDs.
