Intel SR1600URHSR Barebone System — 1U Rack-Mount Dual-CPU Server

The Intel Server System SR1600URHSR Barebone System is designed for high-density compute power in a 1U rack chassis. This Server System features includes 12 DIMMs DDR3 memory, high speed PCI Express 2.0 I/O slots, and integrated RAID, for high performance computing (HPC). Experience high performance.

• Dual-processor scalability in a compact 1U design: Engineered for performance-dense workloads, this barebone supports 2 processors in the Socket B LGA-1366 grid, enabling substantial multi-core throughput in a space-efficient form factor. The 1U chassis footprint makes it ideal for dense data centers, HPC clusters, and enterprise deployments where rack space is at a premium. With dual sockets, you can tailor compute power to your workload, scale up performance as demand grows, and maximize per-rack efficiency without sacrificing reliability or manageability.
• Generous memory capacity with DDR3 speed and density: The SR1600URHSR offers 12 DIMM slots for DDR3 memory, delivering robust memory bandwidth and capacity for virtualized environments, large-scale databases, in-memory analytics, and other memory-intensive applications. This memory configuration supports demanding workloads that require fast data access, low latency, and improved overall system responsiveness, helping to reduce bottlenecks in memory-bound tasks.
• High-speed PCI Express 2.0 I/O slots for expansion: Expand system capability with PCI Express 2.0 I/O slots designed to accommodate accelerators, networking cards, storage controllers, and other high-performance peripherals. This capability enables flexible scaling for compute acceleration, enhanced networking, or accelerated storage solutions, allowing you to adapt the server to evolving workloads without redesigning the platform.
• Integrated RAID for data protection and streamlined storage management: An integrated RAID feature set helps safeguard critical data and simplifies storage configuration within the barebone chassis. This built-in reliability reduces the need for additional external controllers in many deployments, contributing to a cleaner rack layout, consolidated management, and improved data protection across enterprise workloads and HPC storage nodes.
• Enterprise-ready design for HPC, virtualization, and density-focused workloads: The SR1600URHSR is purpose-built for environments where compute density, uptime, and scalability matter. Its 1U form factor, dual-socket capability, ample memory, fast I/O, and RAID integration combine to deliver a robust foundation for virtualization clusters, scientific computing, data analytics, and other high-performance tasks that demand consistent performance per rack unit.
