Server ERNITEC SR-1X54R-HW-WS 1U 4-Bay (MPN SR-1X54R-HW-WS)

ERNITEC SR-1X54R-HW-WS is a compact 1U rack server with four front-access hot-swap drive bays, a short 54 cm depth and components chosen for space-constrained data centers and edge deployments. It is equipped with an Intel Xeon 6357P CPU, 32 GB of RAM, dual 500 GB SSDs configured as a mirrored OS volume, hardware RAID support for the front bays via a 9361 controller, dual 1 GbE network ports and a dedicated IPMI interface for remote management. The server includes TPM for platform security, dual 300 W redundant power supplies and arrives with Windows Server 2025 Standard preinstalled.

Advantages

The server combines a high-frequency Xeon processor with hardware RAID and mirrored OS drives for reliable performance and data redundancy in a compact 1U chassis. Short chassis depth and included rails simplify installation in space-limited racks. Remote management via IPMI and redundant power supplies support high availability and easier maintenance.

Suitable for

• Virtualization hosts for small to medium workloads
• File and storage services with up to four front hot-swap drives
• Application hosting at the network edge or compact data centers
• Environments requiring remote management and platform security

When it may not be suitable

This 1U server is not designed for large-scale storage arrays or workloads that require many drive bays or very high network throughput beyond dual 1 GbE ports. For deployments needing multi-gigabit networking, GPU acceleration, or very large memory footprints, a different chassis or configuration would be more appropriate.

Key specifications

• Form factor: 1U rack server, short depth (54 cm)
• Processor: Intel Xeon 6357P, 8 cores / 16 threads, 3.0–5.4 GHz
• Memory: 32 GB RAM (installed)
• Storage (OS): 2 × 500 GB SSD configured in RAID1
• Drive bays: Up to 4 × 3.5" hot-swap front bays with hardware RAID support (9361 controller)
• Networking: Dual 1 GbE ports plus dedicated IPMI NIC
• Security: TPM module installed
• Power: Dual 300 W redundant power supplies
• Operating system: Windows Server 2025 Standard preinstalled
• Accessories: Rails included; packaged with Euro CEE 7 to C13 power cables

How to use

Install the server into a standard 19-inch rack using the included rails and connect power using the supplied cable. Configure networking through the two 1 GbE ports and access the BMC via the dedicated IPMI NIC for remote management tasks such as firmware updates, remote console access and power control. Use the hardware RAID controller to configure drive arrays and ensure the OS is installed or restored to the mirrored SSDs. Monitor temperatures and power redundancy to maintain availability.

What to consider before purchase

• Required network bandwidth—dual 1 GbE may be a limiting factor for high-throughput use cases
• Storage capacity and expansion—server supports up to four 3.5" drives; plan for required HDD/SSD sizes
• Physical rack depth—54 cm chassis depth must fit your rack or cabinet
• Power cabling—only Euro CEE 7 to C13 power cables are included; verify local plug compatibility

Recommendations

For small to medium virtualization, file services and edge application hosting, deploy this 1U server with mirrored OS drives and hardware RAID for data redundancy, enable TPM and IPMI for security and remote management, and ensure rack space and network capacity match your intended workload.
