Dual 16-core Xeon server for compute-heavy workloads

This 2U rack system ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 6142 processors at 2.6 GHz, each offering 16 cores and a 3.7 GHz turbo frequency. 128 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory fills eight of the 24 available slots. The configuration targets virtualization hosts, database nodes and other multi-threaded tasks that benefit from high core counts and large memory capacity.

Redundant 750 W platinum supplies and hot-swap power

Dual 750 watt platinum-efficiency power supplies provide N+1 redundancy with hot-swap replacement. The 2U chassis uses forced-air cooling across the CPUs, memory risers and eight 2.5-inch drive bays. Acoustic output scales with inlet temperature and workload; under typical data-centre conditions the system remains within Dell’s specified thermal envelope for continuous operation.

H730P RAID, quad-port networking

The PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode across the eight installed 2.4 TB 10K SAS drives. A quad-port daughter card adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links for flexible fabric connectivity. iDRAC9 Enterprise enables full out-of-band management, remote console and lifecycle automation without an operating system. Rails and front bezel are included for immediate rack mounting.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 8x 2.4TB SAS drives into the 2.5" bays, and what step is often missed?

Slide each drive into a bay until the latch clicks, then configure RAID in the H730P BIOS before the OS loads; skipping the RAID setup leaves the drives unrecognised.

Which components will need replacement first during long-term operation?

The 2.4TB 10K SAS hard drives and the H730P controller battery are the primary wear items; fans and the 750W power supplies may also require service after extended use.

What thermal or power limit appears first when the dual Xeon Gold 6142 CPUs run at 3.7GHz turbo continuously?

The 750W platinum power supplies set the ceiling; sustained 3.7GHz turbo on both 16-core processors can exceed their combined output, causing throttling or shutdown.
