Dual 14-core Gold 6132 server
This 1U rack server ships with two Intel Gold 6132 processors running at 2.6 GHz, each providing 14 cores and 19.25 MB cache. The 128 GB DDR4 memory is populated as eight 16 GB modules at 2666 MT/s. Six 1.92 TB SAS SSDs are installed behind the H730P RAID controller, leaving two 2.5-inch bays free for expansion.
PCIe Gen 3 and SAS throughput limits
Up to eight PCIe Gen 3 slots provide I/O expansion, while the H730P controller manages the SAS SSD array. The SAS interface and Gen 3 lanes set the practical bandwidth ceiling for storage and add-in cards. Network connectivity uses an Intel X550 dual 10 Gb RJ45 and dual 1 Gb RJ45 NDC module, fixing the wired throughput at those rates.
Redundant 1100 W supply and included rails
Dual 1100 W power supplies deliver redundancy in a 1U chassis that includes sliding rails, a bezel without LCD and power cords. The front panel holds eight 2.5-inch drive bays; six are occupied by the installed SSDs. iDRAC9 Enterprise provides dedicated remote management access over the network.

Questions about this item
Should I choose the 1.92TB SAS drives or a different capacity?
The server ships with six 1.92TB SAS SSDs installed in the 2.5-inch bays, leaving two bays free for additional drives if more capacity is needed.
What does the 2.6GHz figure mean for actual workloads?
Each Gold 6132 processor runs at 2.6GHz with 14 cores and 19.25M cache, giving 28 total cores for parallel tasks such as virtualization or database work.
How does the SAS interface limit drive performance?
The H730P controller connects the SAS SSDs over 12Gb/s SAS lanes, so each drive can sustain its rated read and write speeds without a slower bottleneck.
