Featuring the Intel® C741 chipset and integrated X13SEDW-F motherboard, this Gold Series system delivers scalable performance with extensive GPU acceleration and storage flexibility for demanding enterprise workloads. Powered by a single 4th/5th Gen Intel® Xeon® processor, it handles intensive tasks effortlessly. Memory scales with 16 DDR5 DIMM slots across 8 channels, supporting up to 2TB ECC DDR5 RDIMM at 5600MT/s (1DPC) or 4TB at 4400MT/s (2DPC)—ideal for data-heavy AI and virtualization applications.

Storage versatility includes 12 hot-swap 3.5" SAS/SATA bays (default), with hybrid options for 2 PCIe 5.0 x4 NVMe/SAS/SATA + 10 SAS/SATA (additional controllers/cables may be required). Onboard SATA RAID 0/1/5/10 and optional Intel® VROC for NVMe RAID 0/1 ensure reliable data management. Expansion excels with PCIe 5.0 slots: up to 4x x16 FHHL for single-width GPUs or 2x double-width, supporting NVIDIA H100, H100 NVL, A16, A30, A40, L4, L40S, RTX 6000 Ada Generation, and more. A dedicated OCP 3.0 AIOM slot enables flexible networking, complemented by 1 RJ45 1GbE BMC LAN, 2 USB 3.2 Gen1 Type-A (rear), 2 USB 2.0 (header), 1 VGA, and 1 COM port.

Redundant 1200W Titanium-level (96%) power supplies and 3 heavy-duty PWM 80x80x38mm fans maintain efficiency in 10°C–35°C environments. Security is robust with a TPM 2.0 header, Silicon Root of Trust (NIST 800-193 compliant), secure boot, and runtime protections. IPMI 2.0 with KVM-over-LAN simplifies remote management via AMI BIOS. Compact at 3.5" H x 17.2" W x 25.5" D and 33 lbs (net), the black front and silver body chassis (CSE-LA26TS-R1K23AWP1) fits high-density racks seamlessly.
