| Processors (CPU) |
Supports up to two 2nd-generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors — up to 28 cores per CPU.
|
| Memory (RAM / Persistent Memory) |
24 DDR4 DIMM slots (ECC RDIMM / LRDIMM).
Maximums vary depending on memory type: ~3 TB with LRDIMM.
Supports advanced memory options too — e.g. NVDIMM (persistent memory) and even Intel Optane DC persistent memory (PMem) for workloads needing persistent, high-capacity memory.
|
| Storage / Drive Bays |
Flexible storage configuration:
– Up to 16 × 2.5″ SAS/SATA/SSD (small-form drives) — useful for high-performance SSD/NVMe arrays.
– Or up to 8 × 3.5″ SAS/SATA HDDs (large form-factor) — useful for capacity-heavy storage.
– Overall raw storage capacity can go to very high levels depending on drive types.
|
| Storage Controllers & Boot Options |
Multiple internal RAID/storage controller options (e.g. PERC H330, H730P, H740P, HBA330, etc.).
Supports external RAID/HBA controllers too (e.g. external SAS HBA, external PERC RAID).
Boot-optimized storage subsystem: dual M.2 SSDs (useful for OS / boot drives), offering efficient boot without consuming large drive bays.
|
| I/O / Expansion / Accelerators |
Up to 8 PCIe Gen3 slots (various riser configurations — e.g. up to four ×16).
Supports accelerator cards / GPUs / FPGAs: e.g. up to 3 × 300 W GPUs or 6 × 150 W GPUs, or compatible FPGAs — useful for GPU-compute, AI/ML workloads, HPC, rendering, etc.
Network interface options are flexible — from 1 GbE up to 10 GbE or 25 GbE depending on configuration.
|
| Management & Security |
Integrated remote and local management via iDRAC9, with options for lifecycle controller, remote console, updates, monitoring — helpful for data-center level management.
Security & firmware features: cryptographically signed firmware, secure boot, secure erase, optional TPM, system lockdown, and hardware root-of-trust — aiding enterprise-grade security and compliance needs.
|
| Power & Cooling |
Multiple PSU (power-supply) options — from smaller wattage up to high-capacity PSUs (depending on configuration and load). Hot-plug, redundant power supplies supported, enabling reliability and uptime.
Hot-swappable, redundant fans support reliable cooling — important especially under heavy workloads or with GPUs/accelerators.
|
| Form Factor & Physical Dimensions |
2U rack-mount chassis.
Dimensions (approx): Height ~ 86.8 mm, Width ~ 434.0 mm, Depth ~ 737.5 mm |
