A striking feature is the short-depth chassis, which measures only 557mm with the bezel attached, allowing it to go where normal rack servers can’t. Don’t be fooled by this shortness through; the XE2420 is capable of packing a mighty specification.
It supports dual Xeon Scalable CPUs including the Cascade Lake models, while memory can be boosted to a maximum of 1TB with RDIMMs and 1.75TB using LR-DIMMs. Storage options are plentiful as well, but a key feature is its facilities for up to five PCI-E expansion slots, with GPU cards a high priority.
