Supermicro SYS-5019C-WR 1U rack server Xeon E-2124 64GB DDR4 9361-8i 4x 3.5" trays 2x 500W PSUs

Platform summary

The Supermicro SYS-5019C-WR is a 1U rackmount server built around a single Intel Xeon E-2124 processor running at 3.3 GHz with 4.5 GHz turbo. It ships with 64 GB of DDR4 ECC memory and an LSI MegaRAID 9361-8i controller with 1 GB cache. Four hot-swap 3.5-inch drive trays support SATA and SAS media while dual 500 W Platinum power supplies provide redundancy. Integrated dual 1 GbE LAN and a dedicated IPMI 2.0 port handle management.

Compatibility checklist

Verify that your rack supplies standard 1U mounting depth and that the front bezel is not required for your airflow plan. Confirm the Xeon E-2124 LGA 1151 socket matches any spare CPU inventory you intend to use. The MegaRAID 9361-8i occupies a PCIe 3.0 x8 slot so ensure the backplane or riser you select exposes that lane configuration. Memory slots accept DDR4-2666 ECC unbuffered DIMMs up to the platform maximum.

Ideal fit and limits

Suited for teams needing a compact, redundant power platform with hardware RAID and out-of-band management for virtualisation hosts or storage nodes. Not a fit for buyers who want more storage bays than the four 3.5-inch trays provide or who need GPU compute density beyond the single low-profile expansion slot. Teams requiring higher core counts or larger memory footprints should look at dual-socket platforms.
