High-Density Storage
Twelve 3.5" drive bays provide substantial raw storage capacity for data-intensive applications, backups, or archival systems, with support for both SATA and SAS interfaces.
- 12x 3.5" bays
- SAS/SATA controller support
- 14 total expansion slots
Memory Scalability
Thirty-two DDR4 memory slots support up to 256 GB of system RAM, enabling large memory footprints for virtualization, databases, and in-memory processing workloads.
- 256 GB maximum
- 32 DIMM slots
- DDR4-3200 speed
Power Redundancy
Dual power supplies with 1.60 kW maximum capacity provide power failover protection, reducing single points of failure in critical server deployments.
- 2x power supplies
- 1.60 kW total
- 120/230V input
Deployment / Use Cases
This barebone server is engineered for environments where storage density and compute reliability are primary considerations. Its 2U form factor makes it suitable for standard rack installations in data centers, colocation facilities, and enterprise server rooms.
Typical deployments include storage servers for network-attached storage (NAS) or backup targets, virtualization hosts for consolidating multiple virtual machines, and application servers for database or file serving workloads. The extensive drive bay count supports both capacity-optimized and performance-tiered storage configurations.
Storage Server
Deploy as a dedicated storage node with twelve 3.5" drives for high-capacity file serving, backup repositories, or archival storage systems.
- 12 drive capacity
- SAS/SATA support
- Gigabit networking
Virtualization Host
Utilize the memory scalability and processor support to host multiple virtual machines for server consolidation, development environments, or test labs.
- 256 GB RAM support
- Xeon processor compatibility
- Dual PSU redundancy
Physical Profile
The server occupies a 2U rack space with dimensions of 3.43" (87 mm) height, 17.62" (447.60 mm) width, and 30.69" (779.50 mm) depth. This compact footprint maximizes rack density while providing sufficient internal volume for twelve 3.5" drives and dual power supplies.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 2U, 17.62" (447.60 mm), 30.69" (779.50 mm). This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.
