Four-socket Xeon Gold 6142 server

This 3U rack server ships with four Intel Xeon Gold 6142 processors, each running at 2.6 GHz with 16 cores. It targets organisations that run memory-intensive workloads such as large databases, virtualisation clusters or real-time analytics. The system arrives with 128 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory installed across 48 slots and supports up to 6 TB total capacity.

Check power, cooling and rack space

The unit requires two 1600 W redundant hot-swap power supplies and draws significant current under full load, so verify your PDU capacity and circuit rating before ordering. It occupies 3U of rack height and includes ready rails, but you must confirm cabinet depth and airflow clearance for sustained operation. Network connectivity uses an Intel X520/I350 daughter card providing two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports; ensure compatible transceivers and cabling are available.

Sustained load behaviour with eight SAS drives

Eight 600 GB 10 K SAS drives connect through a PERC H730P 2 GB controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 with battery-backed cache. Under continuous write-heavy workloads the controller cache and drive firmware maintain consistent throughput while the redundant power supplies share load. iDRAC 9 Enterprise provides out-of-band thermal monitoring and alerting so administrators can respond before throttling occurs.

Questions about this item

Does the server ship with all eight 600 GB SAS drives and the PERC H730P controller, or must I buy drives separately?

The unit includes eight Dell Enterprise 600 GB 10K SAS 12 Gb/s 2.5" hard drives and the PERC H730P 2 GB controller with battery, so no extra drives or controller are required.

The listing shows 128 GB installed and 6 TB maximum — which capacity should I choose for a memory-heavy database?

128 GB (eight 16 GB DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC modules) is pre-installed across 48 slots; you can add up to 6 TB later if the workload grows.

What real-world throughput can I expect from the four Xeon Gold 6142 processors at their 3.7 GHz turbo speed?

Four 16-core Xeon Gold 6142 CPUs running at 2.6 GHz base (3.7 GHz turbo) deliver 64 cores and 128 threads for heavy multi-threaded workloads.
