Equipped with an Ultra 7 265 processor and 32GB of RAM, this server provides a robust foundation for reliable infrastructure. It features eight front-loading drive bays with hardware RAID support, ensuring both speed and data redundancy for demanding enterprise environments.

Advantages

This server offers exceptional versatility through its compact 58cm depth, allowing for installation in space-constrained racks. The inclusion of dual 1TB NVMe drives for the operating system ensures rapid boot times and system responsiveness. With integrated 2.5GbE and 10GbE network ports, the unit provides flexible connectivity options for high-speed data transfer. Furthermore, the redundant 800W power supplies and dedicated IPMI management port enhance system uptime and simplify remote administration.

Suitable for

• Enterprise data management
• Scalable network storage solutions
• Professional surveillance systems
• High-performance computing tasks

This server may not be suitable for environments requiring extreme low-noise operation, such as quiet office spaces, due to the high-performance cooling fans necessary for server-grade hardware. It is also not intended for desktop use and requires a standard 19-inch server rack for proper mounting and airflow.

• Networking: 1x 2.5GbE, 1x 10GbE, and dedicated IPMI port
• Power: Redundant 2x 800W power supplies
• Operating System: Windows 11 Pro preinstalled
• Depth: 58cm

To begin using the server, mount the unit into a compatible 19-inch rack and connect the redundant power cables to a reliable power source. Connect the network cables to the appropriate 2.5GbE or 10GbE ports depending on your network infrastructure requirements. Use the dedicated IPMI port to configure remote management settings before deploying the server into your production environment. The Windows 11 Pro operating system is preinstalled and ready for initial configuration upon first boot.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure your server rack has a depth of at least 58cm plus space for cabling.
• Verify that your network switches support the required 10GbE or 2.5GbE speeds.
• Confirm that the 8-bay storage capacity meets your current and future data growth needs.
• Check that the power supply requirements match your facility's electrical infrastructure.

Usage recommendations: Regularly monitor the hardware status via the IPMI interface to ensure optimal performance and receive early alerts regarding drive health or power supply status. Keep the server environment clean and well-ventilated to maintain the longevity of the internal components.
