Dual Gold 6142 16-core server for virtualisation
This 2U rack system ships with two Intel Gold 6142 processors, each delivering 16 cores, and 64 GB of DDR4 memory. The H740P RAID controller manages two 2 TB 7.2K SAS drives in an eight-bay 2.5-inch chassis. Remote administration is handled by iDRAC9 Enterprise.
Teams needing high core counts in a compact rack
The dual 16-core configuration suits dense virtualisation, database or compute workloads that benefit from 32 total threads. Buyers who require more than eight 2.5-inch drive bays or a different storage interface should evaluate other chassis options.
32 cores from two Gold 6142 CPUs
The pair of 16-core processors provides the decisive thread count for heavily threaded applications. If the workload demands a higher per-core frequency or a lower core count, a different processor choice would be more appropriate.

Questions about this item
Will the 2U chassis with 8x 2.5" drive bays fit my standard 19-inch rack and what rails are needed?
The server is a 2U rackmount unit with 8x 2.5" drive bays; it mounts on the included rails in a standard 19-inch rack.
What is the correct order for installing the two Gold 6142 processors and the 64GB DDR4 memory kit?
Install both Gold 6142 CPUs first, then populate the 64GB DDR4 as 4x 16GB modules across the eight channels, balancing each processor's memory controllers.
When should I expect to replace the 1100W redundant power supplies or the 2x 2.4TB 10K SAS drives?
The 1100W redundant PSUs and 2.4TB 10K SAS drives are field-replaceable; swap a PSU immediately on fault LED, and plan drive replacement after five years or on SMART warnings.
