Connectivity and compatibility

This server includes four integrated 1 Gb Ethernet ports that handle typical network traffic efficiently. For environments requiring higher bandwidth or specialized connectivity, the PCIe Gen5 and OCP 3.0 slots allow installation of advanced network adapters or storage controllers. This flexibility ensures the server can adapt to evolving infrastructure demands without a full hardware overhaul.

Performance and reliability

The combination of a 16-core AMD EPYC processor and DDR5 memory provides a solid foundation for compute-intensive tasks such as virtualization, AI model training, and data analytics. The hot-plug power supply supports uninterrupted operation by enabling power module replacement without shutting down the system. Security features like hardware root of trust and secure boot add a layer of protection critical for sensitive workloads in research or financial sectors.

Ideal uses and environments

This server fits well in data centers supporting virtualization clusters, AI development teams, and storage-heavy applications. Its scalable memory and storage options make it a strong choice for organizations that anticipate growth in data volume or user demand. The remote management capabilities also make it suitable for IT teams managing distributed or multi-site deployments.

Returns are accepted within 30 days of delivery. Items must be unused, in the same condition received, with tags, manuals, accessories, and original, unaltered packaging. Any item kept will be deducted from the refund. Start a return by sending us an email. Items sent back without approval may be refused or returned to the sender.

Some items are not returnable: opened TVs/combos/monitors 37″+, opened computers or software, electronic downloads, opened consumables (film, paper, bulbs, media, ink), custom or modified computers, special-order or “nonreturnable” items, submerged underwater gear, and opened educational media.

After inspection, refunds are issued to the original payment method; allow 5–7 business days for the credit to post. Shipping, handling, customs duties, and import taxes are nonrefundable. If an item is used, incomplete, or not in original condition, a 30% restocking fee may apply. Direct exchanges are not offered; purchase the replacement and return the original for a refund.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
