R2400-HDD, Foredge 2U CPU Server with Enterprise HDD Storage

Foredge R2400-HDD is a 2U rack-mounted CPU server designed for high-capacity local storage. It supports up to two 4th/5th generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors, front-mounted 3.5-inch drive bays, optional RAID protection, PCIe 5.0 expansion, OCP 3.0 networking, and redundant hot-swappable system components.

Best Fit Applications

High-Capacity Local Storage

Designed for CPU server deployments that need up to twelve front-mounted 3.5-inch drives, two rear 2.5-inch drives, and support for SAS, SATA, and NVMe storage configurations.

RAID-Protected Storage Deployments

Suitable for storage configurations using optional RAID 0, 1, 10, 5, 50, 6, or 60 and cache supercapacitor protection.

Remotely Managed Rack Servers

Fits rack deployments that require AST2600 BMC management with IPMI 2.0, remote KVM, virtual media, component monitoring, and abnormal alarms.

Why R2400-HDD

Large 3.5-Inch Drive Capacity

The platform provides up to twelve front-mounted 3.5-inch drive positions plus two rear 2.5-inch positions for local storage expansion.

Optional RAID Protection

Optional RAID 0, 1, 10, 5, 50, 6, and 60 support, together with cache supercapacitor protection, provides storage configuration options for supported deployments.

Remote System Management

The AST2600 BMC supports IPMI 2.0, remote KVM, virtual media, key-component monitoring, and abnormal alarms.

Hot-Swappable Redundant Components

Six hot-swappable fans with N+1 redundancy and two hot-swappable power modules with 1+1 redundancy support serviceable rack operation.
