Capacity and form factor

This 2U rack server holds twenty-six 3.5-inch drive trays and two Xeon Platinum 8260 processors. It ships with 64GB of DDR4-2933 ECC registered memory and a PERC H330 storage controller. Redundant 1100-watt power supplies and iDRAC 9 Enterprise management are included.

Suitable workloads and limits

The chassis suits software-defined storage, backup repositories and media archives that need dense 3.5-inch capacity in two rack units. Buyers who require installed drives, front bezel, ready rails or a controller with hardware RAID 5 or 6 should look elsewhere.

Deciding specification

The PERC H330 controller provides 12Gb/s SAS and SATA connectivity without cache-backed RAID 5 or 6. Confirm that your deployment can use JBOD, RAID 0 or RAID 1 before ordering.

Questions about this item

Will the 24-core Xeon Platinum 8260 CPUs fit in my existing LGA 3647 socket motherboard?

Yes, each Platinum 8260 uses the LGA 3647 socket, so the processors are compatible with any board that supports that socket and the Xeon Scalable platform.

How can I confirm the PERC H330 controller is recognised and the 26 drive bays are online after installation?

During POST the H330 BIOS will list the controller and all connected drives, and iDRAC 9 Enterprise will show every bay status in its storage inventory.

Which items ship with the server and which must I source separately?

The chassis includes 26x 3.5" drive trays, 2x 1100 W PSUs, the H330 controller, iDRAC 9 Enterprise, 64 GB DDR4-2933 ECC RDIMMs, dual 1 GbE LOM and a 10/25 Gb SFP28 OCP card; drives and rails are not included.
