Mainstream 2U rack-optimized system with up to 8 3.5” HDDs for storage or embedded applications

Intel® Server System R2300SC2 Family

Key Features

R2308SC2SHFN model:

  • One 600W non-redundant power supply (80 PLUS* Silver efficiency)

R2312SC2SHGR model:

  • Two 750W AC common redundant power supplies (80 PLUS* Platinum efficiency)
  • Intel® Remote Management Module 4 (Intel® RMM4)
  • Intel® RAID C600 Upgrade Key RKSATA8

Storage Flexibility and High ROI

Featuring the new Intel® Xeon® processor E5-2400 product family, the Intel® Server System R2300SC2 family supports up to 128 GB of memory. Integrated dual-1 GbE NICs and an optional dedicated management NIC, via the Intel® RMM4 (available separately), provide affordable enterprise-class manageability and connectivity to the Intel® Server System R2300SC2 family.

The 2U Intel Server System R2300SC2 family delivers great storage flexibility with support for up to 12 hot-swap 3.5" SATA 6G drives standard and SAS 6G with an optional Intel® RAID C600 Storage activation key or a discrete controller (both available separately) and redundant 750W 80 PLUS* Platinum certified power supplies and support for up to five low-profile host bus adapters (HBAs) for great I/O expandability.
