Acer Altos R360 F3 User Manual

The Altos R360 F3 is a robust two-socket 1U system that is ideal for almost any application. This dynamic system can function as a head node or used for virtualization purposes for your HPC (High-Performance Computing) and technical computing environments. Extremely powerful and highly efficient, this system functions as the core for your most demanding data-center needs.

Extremely powerful

The R360 F3 supports up to two Intel® Xeon® E5-2600 v3 product family processors, and high-performance DDR4 memory occupying twenty-four DIMM slots. Storage options include up to four 3.5" or eight 2.5" front-accessible, hot-swap hard drives. Hard drives can be configured in 12Gb/s SAS RAID and SAS HBA for increased performance and data availability. In its 1U form factor, it packs the same computing power in half the space when compared to a 2U system.

Highly efficient

As with all Acer rack servers, the R360 F3 uses only 80 PLUS-certified power supplies. This server can be equipped with up to two 750 W 80 PLUS Platinum-level power supplies. Combine this with Load Reduced DIMM memory modules and the latest power-saving chipset technologies, this system delivers maximum performance with minimum power-draw. Six, dual-rotor system fans keep the system running cool at all times.

Flexible and robust I/O

Qualified to work in any environment, this system has dual 10 Gigabit or Gigabit Ethernet connectors onboard. It also has up to 2 PCIe 3.0 slots. In addition, dedicated I/O module and SAS module slots save customers valuable PCIe expansion. Users can rest assured the R360 F3 will keep up in any high-performance scenario.
