Ernitec SR-2U7F4-HW-IPMI 2U Server with IPMI

The Ernitec SR-2U7F4-HW-IPMI is a professional 2U rackmount server designed for high-performance computing environments. Equipped with IPMI for remote management and monitoring, this server ensures reliable operation and efficient system administration. It is an ideal solution for businesses requiring scalable server infrastructure for data processing, virtualization, and enterprise-grade network applications.

Advantages

This 2U server is engineered for demanding workloads, offering a strong blend of performance, expandability, and reliability. At its core is the Ultra 7 265 processor paired with 16GB of memory, delivering responsive multitasking and efficient processing for business applications, virtualization, and edge computing. The included 1TB NVMe SSD provides rapid boot times and high-speed data throughput for storage-intensive tasks. Connectivity is robust with both 10GbE and 2.5GbE network ports, ensuring flexibility for high-bandwidth environments and mixed-speed infrastructures. Integrated IPMI enables full remote management and monitoring, while the onboard TPM module enhances hardware-level security. The chassis supports up to four internal 3.5-inch HDDs connected to the Broadcom 9361 hardware RAID controller, providing significant room for future storage expansion.

Suitable for

• Enterprise-grade network applications
• Virtualization and cloud computing environments
• Data processing and storage-intensive tasks
• Edge computing and remote office infrastructure

When it may not be suitable

This server may not be ideal for environments requiring extreme high-density storage beyond the four internal 3.5-inch drive bays without external expansion. Additionally, it is not designed for silent office environments due to the cooling requirements of a 2U rackmount chassis.

Key specifications

• Processor: Intel Core Ultra 7 265 (20 cores, 20 threads, 2.4-5.3GHz)
• Memory: 16GB DDR5 4800MT
• Storage: 1TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD
• RAID Controller: Broadcom 9361-8i hardware RAID
• Management: Integrated IPMI with dedicated RJ45 port
• Networking: 1x 10GbE and 1x 2.5GbE ports
• Power Supply: 550W GOLD+ (redundant option available)
• Operating System: Windows 11 Pro

How to use

To begin using the server, mount it into a standard 19-inch server rack. Connect the power cable to the rear power supply unit and attach your network cables to the appropriate 10GbE or 2.5GbE ports. Connect a monitor, keyboard, and mouse for initial configuration, or utilize the dedicated IPMI RJ45 port to access the system remotely via a web browser. Once powered on, the preinstalled Windows 11 Pro will guide you through the initial setup process. Use the Broadcom RAID controller interface during boot to configure your storage arrays if adding additional hard drives.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure your rack cabinet has sufficient depth for a 2U chassis.
• Verify if your network infrastructure supports 10GbE or 2.5GbE connections.
• Consider adding a second 550W power supply if your application requires power redundancy.
• Confirm that the storage capacity meets your current and future data requirements.

Usage recommendations

For mission-critical applications, it is highly recommended to install the optional second power supply unit to ensure system uptime in the event of a power failure. Always keep the IPMI firmware updated to maintain secure remote access and monitoring capabilities.
