2U rack server with 26 drive bays

This 2U rack server delivers high-density storage in a compact form factor. It is built for organisations running software-defined storage, big data analytics, backup repositories or media archives that need maximum capacity per rack unit.

Dual Xeon Platinum 8260 sustained throughput

Two Intel Xeon Platinum 8260 processors each run at 2.4GHz base with a 3.9GHz turbo ceiling, providing 24 cores per socket. The 16GB of DDR4-2933 ECC registered memory supports data integrity during long-running compute and storage tasks.

Upgrade from lower-density 2U platforms

The 26-bay 3.5-inch chassis replaces servers that offer fewer drive slots in the same height. The jump is worthwhile when workload growth demands more raw capacity without expanding rack footprint, and when the PERC H330 controller meets the RAID requirements.

Questions about this item

How loud does the 2x 1100W power supply setup run when the 26 3.5" bays are fully populated?

Dual 1100W Platinum supplies share the load, so each unit operates at lower RPM than a single supply would; the 2U chassis uses variable-speed fans that ramp only when inlet temperature rises.

Which drives and cables must I supply to use the 26 3.5" trays with the PERC H330 controller?

The H330 is a 12Gb/s SAS/SATA controller; provide 3.5" SAS or SATA drives and the matching SAS/SATA data cables — the 26 trays are included.

Will the OCP 2.0 mezzanine card with dual 10/25Gb SFP28 ports work in a PCIe 2.0 slot on my older switch?

The Broadcom 57414 mezzanine plugs into the OCP 2.0 slot on the motherboard; it negotiates link speed with the connected switch, so a 10Gb SFP28 module will operate at 10Gb on a 10Gb port.
