1.1 Introduction

QuantaGrid D51PC-1U is a compact and versatile 2-Socket server. It is based on the dual
Intel® Xeon® processor E5-2600 v3 product family and offers up to 8x DDR4 memory and
three PCIe expansion devices to deliver enterprise-grade performance. It is an ideal front-
end web, data caching, search and application server.
Ultra-Dense Short Chassis

The QuantaGrid D51PC-1U supports dual CPU, eight DRAM, three PCIe expansion
devices and two PSU in a 24" deep chassis. With a short form factor, this server can
be deployed in almost any SMB or data center environment.
Affordable Enterprise-Class Performance and Reliability

The D51PC-1U delivers enterprise-class performance based on the latest Intel®
Xeon® processor E5-2600 v3 product family and the DDR4 memory technology.
Despite its compact size, it retains scalability and reliability. By offering necessary
LAN and storage expansion flexibility without superfluous configuration options, its
total cost of ownership is low. The QuantaGrid D51PC-1U can accommodate one
PCIe x8 OCP mezzanine, one PCIe x8 Quanta LAN or SAS mezzanine, plus one PCIe
x8 low-profile card (adding up to 12 GbE ports in a 1U chassis). The server can sup-
port one fan rotor and PSU redundancy to maintain reliable application perfor-
mance even if one of these critical components fails.
Flexible and Scalable I/O options

QuantaGrid D51PC-1U provides flexible I/O scalability for today's diverse data cen-
ter application requirements. It features OCP LAN mezzanine card solutions in addi-
tion to dual GbE or quad 1GbE LAN on motherboards (LoM). With various controller
vendors and different speed and technology options, customers can choose from
1GbE to 56GbE bandwidth, copper or fiber-optic cabling, basic Ethernet function or
FCoE and ISCSI SAN connectivity. The onboard SAS controller offers multiple Quanta
SAS mezzanine card options with different RAID levels and data transfer bandwidth
so customers can tailor the SAS controller for specific application needs.
