Frequently Asked Questions
What processor is in this system and what does 2.3GHz mean for multi-threaded workloads?
The E5-2670 V3 is a 12-core Haswell-EP Xeon running at 2.3GHz base with a 3.1GHz Turbo Boost. For heavily threaded applications — simulation, rendering, transcoding — core count matters more than clock speed, and 12 cores per socket gives you real parallelism without the premium of a newer platform.
Is the 256GB of memory ECC, and what memory speed does the LGA2011-v3 platform support?
Yes, Xeon E5 v3 platforms use ECC RDIMM or LRDIMM registered memory. The LGA2011-v3 platform supports DDR4 at up to 2133MHz across a quad-channel bus, delivering substantial memory bandwidth for data-intensive workloads like CFD, FEA, or large dataset analytics.
What is the Quadro K4200 capable of, and will it run modern visualization software?
The K4200 is a Kepler-architecture Quadro with 4GB GDDR5, 1344 CUDA cores, and a 192-bit bus. It supports OpenGL 4.4 and DirectX 11, making it compatible with current releases of AutoCAD, SolidWorks, Maya, and similar professional visualization tools — though it won't support CUDA features requiring Pascal or newer.
What does "2X Trays" mean for storage, and can I install modern NVMe SSDs?
The system ships with two drive trays populated. The LGA2011-v3 platform does not support native NVMe boot via PCIe M.2 on the motherboard, but you can add NVMe via a PCIe add-in card. SATA SSDs are the straightforward upgrade path for this platform.
What is the typical power draw and rack space requirement?
The Precision Rack 7910 occupies 2U of rack space. Under full load with dual Xeon E5 v3 CPUs and the K4200, expect draw in the 400–600W range depending on memory and storage configuration. Verify your PDU capacity before deployment.
