Frequently asked questions

What does the warranty cover?

Our warranty covers all hardware faults, but please note it doesn’t cover accidental damage or software issues. However, we’re here to help with technical support for those matters!

What is a refurbished device?

A refurbished device is a pre-owned item that has been restored to meet high-quality standards. At Reboot IT, we adhere to strict quality guidelines, ensuring that our refurbished products are not the same as used or secondhand items. We meticulously clean, test, and assess each device, replacing worn parts with high-quality components.

Unlike used items, which lack guarantees and rely solely on the seller's word regarding condition, refurbished devices come with assurance of quality and reliability.

What payment options are available?

We offer a variety of payment options to make your shopping experience as convenient as possible! You can pay using all major credit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Shop Pay, Afterpay, Zip Pay, and PayPal. If you prefer, we also accept bank deposits and even cash for in-store purchases!

Description

Dell PowerEdge R900 4U Rack Server

This unit is configured with 2x Intel Xeon E7430 processors (8 cores total), 16GB DDR2 ECC RAM, and no hard drives — ready for your own drives, RAID, and OS installation. Backed by a 12-month Reboot IT warranty.

Key Benefits

  • Dual Xeon E7430 processors: 2x quad-core Xeon E7430 CPUs (8 physical cores, 8 threads) provide a solid multi-threaded base — and the R900 chassis supports up to 4 sockets for future expansion
  • 16GB DDR2 ECC RAM installed: Registered ECC memory for error-correcting server reliability; the platform supports up to 256GB across 16 DIMM slots
  • 8 hot-swap storage bays: Eight 3.5-inch SAS/SATA hot-swap bays (no drives supplied) ready for your own drives with PERC 6/i hardware RAID support
  • PERC 6/i hardware RAID: Battery-backed hardware RAID controller protects write cache against power loss during array operations
  • iDRAC6 remote management: Remote console, power control, and hardware health monitoring without physical datacentre access
  • Redundant PSU: Hot-swap power supplies protect against single PSU failure, keeping the server online during maintenance

Performance in Use

The PowerEdge R900 with dual Xeon E7430s delivers 8 physical cores across two sockets. At current pricing, a two-socket server-class platform with 16GB ECC RAM and 8 hot-swap drive bays represents exceptional infrastructure value for labs, legacy ERP environments, and virtualisation test beds. The platform is configurable — additional CPUs can be sourced and installed to reach four sockets for higher core and memory counts.

While the Dunnington-generation CPUs do not match the per-core performance of modern Xeon platforms, for workloads that benefit from many cores, large ECC memory capacity, and hardware RAID storage, the R900 remains practical in its price tier. It is well-suited to IT teams who understand the platform generation and need high reliability at low cost. No OS is supplied — Linux, VMware ESXi 5.x/6.0, and Windows Server 2008 R2 / 2012 R2 are all supported.

Is It Right for You?

✓ Best For:
• IT labs needing multi-core compute at low cost
• Legacy ERP or database hosting with large-memory needs
• Virtualisation test beds (VMware ESXi, Hyper-V)
• Storage appliance builds using the 8 hot-swap bays
• Research and data processing workloads
✗ Not For:
• Modern production workloads requiring current-gen CPU performance
• NVMe or PCIe SSD storage — older platform does not support NVMe natively
• Power-efficient deployments — 4U dual-socket server carries significant power draw
• Users who need an OS out-of-the-box

Frequently Asked Questions

How many CPUs does this unit come with?

This listing is configured with 2x Intel Xeon E7430 (quad-core each, 8 physical cores total). The R900 chassis supports up to 4 sockets — additional CPUs can be sourced separately to expand core count.

Are hard drives included?

No — this unit is supplied without hard drives. The 8x 3.5-inch hot-swap SAS/SATA bays are available for your own drives. Standard SAS and SATA drives (2.5-inch with caddy, or 3.5-inch) are compatible.

What operating systems are supported?

The R900 supports Windows Server 2008 R2 and 2012 R2, VMware ESXi 5.x and 6.0, and various Linux distributions. Newer OS versions may have limited driver support for this platform generation.

Is it suitable as a virtualisation host?

Yes — a configured R900 with 16+ GB RAM and 2 quad-core Xeons provides a cost-effective VMware ESXi or Hyper-V lab host. It's best suited to non-critical workloads and test environments given the platform generation.

What shipping costs apply?

Shipping costs apply based on size and destination — rates are calculated at checkout. This is a large 4U server and freight charges will apply.

Warranty & Support

The Dell PowerEdge R900 includes a 12-month warranty from Reboot IT, covering all hardware defects from the date of purchase.
