Dell PowerEdge 2950 2U Rack Server 2x Xeon X5450 3GHz 8-Core 16GB RAM No HDD
Dell PowerEdge 2950 — 2U Rack Server
The Dell PowerEdge 2950 is a dual-socket 2U rack server powered by dual Intel Xeon X5450 3GHz quad-core processors, delivering 8 cores of processing capacity, plus 16GB DDR2 RAM. Sold with no HDD, it ships ready for your own storage configuration. Backed by a 12-month Reboot IT warranty.
Key Benefits
- Dual Xeon X5450 3GHz processors: 8 cores at 3GHz handle virtualisation, file serving, and legacy business applications without bottlenecks.
- 16GB DDR2 FB-DIMM RAM: Solid memory capacity for moderate-to-heavy concurrent workloads with room for expansion.
- 8 hot-swap drive bays: Accepts SAS or SATA drives — build your RAID array from scratch or repurpose existing drives without compatibility concerns.
- Dual redundant power supplies: Hot-swap PSU redundancy keeps the server running if one power module fails — critical for always-on environments.
- Dual embedded Gigabit Ethernet: Supports NIC teaming, failover, or separate management and data network segments out of the box.
- Compact 2U form factor: Fits any standard 19-inch rack without excessive rack-unit consumption — efficient for co-location and shared server rooms.
Performance In Use
The PowerEdge 2950 was designed as an enterprise workhorse, and its construction reflects that purpose. Dual Xeon X5450 CPUs at 3GHz deliver real multi-core throughput for workloads that earlier single or dual-core platforms cannot handle comfortably — virtualisation stacks, multi-user file services, and secondary database back-ends are well within reach.
For organisations with legacy software stacks, test-and-development environments, or secondary workloads that do not justify current-generation hardware spend, the 2950 offers a proven, low-risk platform. The eight hot-swap drive bays accommodate SAS or SATA drives, so you can build a RAID array from scratch or repurpose drives from another server without compatibility concerns.
Dell iDRAC is built in for out-of-band remote management — useful for headless operation, BIOS updates, hardware monitoring, and power cycling without requiring physical access. Dual redundant PSUs protect against single-point-of-failure power events during production operation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this server include hard drives?
No — the PowerEdge 2950 is sold with no HDD. It has 8 hot-swap SAS/SATA bays for your preferred drives, which can be sourced separately.
Can the RAM be expanded beyond 16GB?
Yes — the PowerEdge 2950 supports up to 64GB DDR2 FB-DIMM across its 8 DIMM slots. This unit ships with 16GB installed.
Does it come with rack rails?
No — server rails are not included. Compatible Dell PowerEdge 2950 rails are available separately from server hardware suppliers.
What is the difference between Excellent and Good grade?
Excellent (Grade A) units show minimal cosmetic marks. Good (Grade B) show light surface wear. Both are fully tested and carry the same 12-month warranty.
What are the shipping costs?
Shipping costs apply based on size and destination — rates are calculated at checkout.
Is remote management included?
Yes — the PowerEdge 2950 includes Dell iDRAC for out-of-band remote management, including power control, console access, and hardware monitoring.
12-Month Warranty — Reboot IT
Every Dell PowerEdge 2950 sold by Reboot IT is covered by a 12-month warranty. Shipping costs apply based on size and destination — rates are calculated at checkout.
