form. D51PH-1ULH is a rackmount server based on Intel® Xeon® processor E5-2600 v3
product family and features up to 1TB memory capacity. It is equipped with 12x hot-swap-
pable 3.5” disk drives and 4x hot-swappable 2.5” SATA SSD.
Ultra Dense 1U High Computing Storage Server
D51PH-1ULH designs 12 hot-swappable 3.5” disk drives in 1U chassis, and also delivers the
outstanding computing performance with Intel® Xeon® processor E5-2600 v3 product
family. It provides both the extreme density and computing to hyper scale cloud data cen-
ters those require not only the large capacity but also the enterprise class compute capa-
bility. It also helps the IT managers can optimize the rack density and save the overall rack
and data center space. With sophisticated hot-swappable mechanism design, D51PH-
1ULH still provides high serviceability for IT people can do the disk drive maintenance
without stopping the business and operation.
Bring You the Most Efficiency with Onboard Design
This system not only lowers the cost, but also highly increases the efficiency because of its
built-on-board design. All key functions are built on the motherboard, including two 1GbE
RJ45 ports for accessing or managing the server from multiple networks, one dedicated
RJ45 management port, optional 10G Base-T port for high speed data access, and
onboard SATA ports plus LSI 2208/3108 SAS controller for various storage devices. The
exceptional design makes all components work smoothly together. Plus two redundant
700W power supply modules, the system can be ranked as one of the most efficient server
ever.
Sophisticated Hybrid Architecture
Cache is becoming a mandatory requirement in not only software defined storage but
also virtualization application to boost the performance and IOPs. D51PH-1ULH is
equipped with 4x SSD in addition to 12x 3.5” large capacity disk drives, such hybrid archi-
tecture is ideal for tier storage planning which solid-state drive is required to accelerate
IOPs and throughput, in the meanwhile not to sacrifice the large data storage capacity.
Hot-swappable and Easy Service
D51PH-1ULH is designed with delicate architecture to support 12 hot-swappable 3.5”
hard drives within 1U chassis, which provides optimized rack density and also deliver non-
disruptive on-site service. With the design, there is no external cable management arm is
required which is significantly reduce the system deployment and rack assembly time, and
also simplify the rack cable routing in the rear side.
