Product Features
Technical Overview
Built on the AMD EPYC 9224 processor, this server delivers 24 cores and 64 MB of L3 cache, optimized for parallel processing and virtualized environments. The platform supports a second processor for scaling compute capacity, with a memory architecture that scales to 6 TB across 24 DDR5 DIMM slots. Memory runs in registered ECC mode for data integrity under heavy loads.
Storage is handled by eight front-accessible 2.5" SFF bays, all hot-swappable for maintenance without downtime. The embedded MR408i-o Gen11 SAS controller delivers 12Gb/s throughput to each bay. Expansion includes two OCP 3.0 slots and one PCIe Gen5 x16 slot for adding network, storage, or accelerator cards.

Deployment / Use Cases
This server is well-suited for virtualized infrastructure, mid-tier databases, and private-cloud deployments where a balance of CPU cores, memory bandwidth, and direct-attached storage is required. Its 2U density makes it efficient for rack consolidation in space-constrained data centers.
Typical applications include virtualization hosts running VMware vSphere or Microsoft Hyper-V, SQL Server or MySQL databases, file and print services, and medium-duty application servers. The dual-processor support and large memory ceiling allow it to grow alongside business needs, while the hot-swap drives and power supplies maintain availability during maintenance.
Virtualization Host
Deploy as a VMware ESXi or Hyper-V host, leveraging 24 cores and high memory capacity to run multiple virtual machines with dedicated storage via the internal bays.
Database Server
Run transactional or analytical databases, where the EPYC processor's core count and DDR5 memory bandwidth accelerate queries, and the SAS controller ensures fast storage I/O.
Physical Profile
The server occupies 2U of rack height (3.44 inches), with a width of 17.11 inches and depth of 25.45 inches, fitting standard 19-inch racks. Its weight of approximately 73.63 pounds reflects a robust metal chassis designed for stability and cooling in rack environments. Front-accessible drive bays and status indicators simplify monitoring and maintenance without sliding the server out.
