2U Short-Depth Server - 3 Hot-swap Bays - Redundant Power

Model: 218L8X2PL

This is a unique take on traditional 2U server design. Despite being the shortest 2U server with redundant power supplies, the system offers plenty of versatility and power. The three hot-swap bays for easy drive access, and low-profile PCIe slots for expanded capabilities. Throw in a Xeon Scalable 3d Gen. and you've got quite a power house system.
