Product Features
Technical Overview
At its core, the ST50 V3 features a single Intel Xeon 6353P processor running at 2.70 GHz. This octa-core CPU includes 24 MB of cache and supports advanced instruction sets for compute-intensive tasks. The system memory leverages TruDDR5 technology at 4.40 GHz, with error-correcting code (ECC) to maintain data integrity under sustained loads. Four memory slots allow upgrades to 128 GB, providing headroom for future growth.
Storage connectivity is handled by a Serial ATA/600 controller, supporting up to four drives across one 5.25" external bay and three 3.5" large form factor bays. These bays are not hot-swappable, aligning with the tower server's design for stable, fixed storage configurations. Expansion is facilitated through three PCIe slots (x4, x16, x4), enabling the addition of network cards, storage controllers, or other accelerators.
