PowerEdge FD332 Server

Rapidly scale dense direct attached storage (DAS) in your FX infrastructures with the 1U FD332 storage module. Create a storage environment that supports balanced data growth on an as-needed basis. Tailor your storage needs to the workloads you are running and avoid overprovisioning. Because it supports SAS and SATA HDD/SSDs you can readily adapt to the performance needs of your applications. When appropriate, you can create software defined storage environments with a combination of hard drives and solid state drives.

Full-width, 1U, 4-socket server sled, with dense compute and memory scalability and a highly expandable storage subsystem, that is ideal for application and virtualization environments at both midsize and large enterprises.

The FC640 is a flexible 1U 2S server with powerful processors, large memory capacity and highly scalable I/O. It is a perfect candidate for virtualization, server consolidation, scale-out, private and hybrid clouds. It features:

• Half-width, up to 4 sleds per FX2 chassis
• Up to 2 28-core Intel® 2nd Generation Xeon® Scalable processors, up to 224 cores per chassis
• Up to 16 DDR4 DIMMs slots, 2TB max memory; up to 64 DIMMs per chassis, 8TB max memory
• Up to two 2.5”SAS/SATA (HDD/SSD); support for NVMe PCIe SSDs
• Up to 8 PCIe 3.0 expansion slots available via chassis

The FD332 storage block provides massive direct attached storage (DAS) capacity in scalable1U blocks. With FX servers, it drives flexible, scale out computing and software-defined storage (SDS) solutions and is an excellent option for dense vSAN environments. It features:

• Half-width, support up to 3 modules per FX2 chassis (with 1 for processing)
• Up to 16 hot-plug SFF 2.5" SAS/SATA (HDD/SSD); up to 48 SFF devices in a chassis
• Optional dual RAID controller for split access and attach to 8 devices separately
• 12Gbps SAS 3.0 and 6Gbps SATA 3.0
• Single or dual controllers, RAID or HBA modes, or mix and match modes with dual controllers

The FN IO Module (FN IOM) is designed specifically for the FX2 chassis, simplifies cabling while optimizing server performance and instant plug-and-play connectivity. Supporting up to 2 FN IOMs per chassis, it includes up to 8 x 10GbE internal ports, plus redundant cooling fans and power supplies. There are 3 models:

• FN410s 4-port SFP+ IO Module: 4 ports of SFP+ 10GbE connectivity, supports optical and DAC cable media
• FN410t 4-port 10GBASE-T IO Module: 4 ports of 10GBASE-T connectivity, supports cost-effective copper media up to 100 meters
• FN2210s 4-port Combination Fibre Channel/Ethernet IO Module: up to 2 ports of 2/4/8Gbps Fibre Channel2 plus 2 ports of SFP+ 10GbE; up to 4 ports SFP+ 10GbE (with reboot); NPG fibre
