This is one of the supported Blade Servers, the PowerEdge FX2.
The PowerEdge FM120x4 blade server is actually 4 Micro servers in one Half-Width Blade. Hence the x4 in the FM120x4 Name. Each FM120 Micro Server runs the low-power Intel® Atom™ C2000 processors. Its System-on-a-chip (SoC) design lets it pack 4 processors in each half-width sled, providing a high-density, low-cost solution, ideal for web serving and dedicated hosting.
Each Micro-Server holds One CPU, Two DIMMs, and supports One 2.5" drive or Two 1.8" drive.
