Product Features
Technical Overview
The server's compute foundation centers on a single Intel Xeon E-2414 processor, a quad-core design operating at 2.60 GHz with 12 MB of cache. This CPU supports ECC memory and delivers the stability expected in business-critical environments. Memory architecture utilizes DDR5 SDRAM technology across four DIMM slots, with one 16 GB module pre-installed and error-checking enabled for data integrity.
Storage connectivity is handled by a Serial ATA/600 controller with Intel VROC, supporting up to four 3.5" drives. Expansion capabilities include two PCIe slots—one PCIe 5.0 and one PCIe 4.0—for adding network, storage, or accelerator cards. Network connectivity is comprehensive, with four Gigabit Ethernet ports for link aggregation, failover, or segregated network traffic.
