Frequently Asked Questions

One Intel Xeon E3-1200 v5 or v6 processor, or an entry Pentium, Core i3 or Celeron chip, on the Intel C236 chipset.

Four DDR4 unbuffered DIMM sockets support up to 64GB at speeds up to 2400 MT/s.

Chassis choices cover two or four 3.5-inch cabled drives, or four 3.5-inch hot-swap bays that also take 2.5-inch drives in hybrid carriers, with PERC S130, H330 or H730. Please specify your capacity needs when you submit your quote configuration.

Both use Xeon E3-1200 v5/v6 processors and 64GB of DDR4. The R330 adds an eight-drive 2.5-inch option and hot-plug redundant power, while the R230 is the simpler, lower-cost choice with a single cabled 250W supply.

The Gen 14 R240 moves to Xeon E-2200 processors with up to 8 cores, DDR4-2666 memory and iDRAC9, and adds a 450W PSU option. Both are 1U single-socket servers with four DIMM slots (64GB), up to four 3.5-inch drives and two PCIe slots.
