Dual Xeon Silver 4116 compute platform

This 2U rack server ships with two Intel Xeon Silver 4116 processors running at 2.1 GHz, each providing twelve cores for a total of twenty-four threads. The system targets organisations that need dense, dual-socket performance for virtualisation, database or high-performance computing workloads in a standard rack footprint.

PCIe and SAS interface constraints

The PERC H730P controller delivers 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA connectivity across eight 2.5-inch drive bays, while the Intel X520/I350 daughter card adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports. Expansion is limited to the PCIe lanes exposed by the C620 chipset and the physical space inside the 2U chassis, so additional accelerator cards or network adapters must fit within those boundaries.

256 GB DDR4 with 3 TB ceiling

Eight 32 GB registered ECC modules populate eight of twenty-four DIMM slots, leaving sixteen slots free for growth up to the 3 TB maximum supported by the platform. The two 300 GB 10 K SAS drives provide fast boot and scratch space, but capacity-hungry workloads will require populating the remaining six bays or attaching external storage.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 256 GB DDR4 configuration or add more modules later?

The system ships with 256 GB across eight 32 GB DDR4 modules, leaving 16 of the 24 slots free for future expansion up to 3 TB.

What does the 2.1 GHz Xeon Silver 4116 speed deliver in this 2U server?

Two 12-core processors run at 2.1 GHz with a 3.0 GHz turbo, providing 24 cores for multi-threaded workloads in a 2U rack form factor.

How does the PERC H730P controller limit drive performance?

The H730P 2 GB controller supports 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA with RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60, capping array throughput at the controller's 12 Gb/s interface.
