Supermicro SYS-5019C-WR 1U rack server E-2146G 64GB 9361-8i 2x500W

Enterprise rack server

The Supermicro SYS-5019C-WR is a 1U rackmount system built around a single Intel Xeon E-2146G six-core processor running at 3.50 GHz with a 4.5 GHz turbo frequency. It ships with 64 GB of DDR4-2666 ECC unbuffered memory installed across four DIMM slots and includes an LSI MegaRAID 9361-8i controller with 1 GB cache and battery backup. Dual 500 W 80 Plus Platinum power supplies provide redundant hot-swap power.

Upgrade from basic tower or single-PSU rack gear

This unit replaces a non-redundant tower server or an older 1U box that lacks hot-swap drive bays and hardware RAID. The jump is worth it when workloads demand ECC memory integrity, four hot-swap 3.5-inch SATA/SAS bays plus dual M.2 slots, and a dedicated IPMI 2.0 port for out-of-band management. Builders staying with a single-socket LGA 1151 platform and 64 GB of RAM will see the benefit immediately.

Fits standard 19-inch racks with room for expansion

The chassis accepts one PCIe 3.0 x16 or two x8 cards plus one x4 in an x8 slot, so a 10 GbE NIC or additional storage controller can be added without sacrificing the RAID card. Dual Intel I210-AT Gigabit ports and the separate IPMI LAN port keep management traffic isolated. Front bezel and rack rails are not included, so plan for those separately.
