AR180 F1

AR180 F1
The AR180 F1 dual-socket server delivers solid performance, scale-up
flexibility, and optimised storage capacity in a 2U modular form factor.
Comprehensive management utilities and high-efficiency components make this
rack server a great, cost-effective solution for clustering operations and
growing businesses.
High availability computing
Two Intel® Xeon® processors 5600 series with multi-core performance, and fast DDR3 memory
ensure solid operation for high-speed computing and memory-intensive applications.
Hot-pluggable power supply units and HDDs, redundant system fans, dual-network ports, and
built-in 6-channel SATA ports with RAID 0, 1, 5 or 10, increase system uptime and provide
secure data processing.
Superior flexibility and expandability
This 2U rack server offers ample headroom for expansion: 12 DIMM slots for up to 192 GB of
memory, seven expansion slots, and 12 HDDs for up to 24 TB of storage provide excellent
computing flexibility to scale with growing business needs.
Comprehensive data management
A suite of management solutions with a unified, easy-to-use interface includes Acer Smart
Setup for rapid system configuration; Acer Smart Server Manager for collaborative data
administration; and Acer Smart Console for system health monitoring, alert notification, and
KVM-over-IP remote management.
Cost-effective, earth-friendly operation
The tool-less chassis design of the AR180 F1 makes component access effortless, reducing
maintenance and service costs. Topping it off, Acer supports and participates in the
Climate Savers® Computing Initiative and 80 PLUS® program for eco-consciousness and
environment preservation.
