Product Features
Technical Overview
At the core of this blade server is an Intel Xeon E5-2650L v2 processor featuring 10 cores operating at 1.70GHz with 25MB of cache. This low-power variant of the Xeon E5 family delivers enterprise-grade performance while maintaining thermal efficiency within the blade enclosure. The processor is supported by the Intel C600 chipset, which provides the I/O foundation for storage, networking, and management functions.
Memory configuration begins with 16GB of DDR3 SDRAM installed across the server's 24 available memory slots, offering substantial headroom for expansion. Storage is handled through a 6Gb/s SAS and Serial ATA/600 controller that supports RAID 0, 1, and 1E configurations for data protection and performance optimization.
