Dell PowerEdge
SC 1425 Server
Designed to deliver optimum rack-dense
performance in clustered environments,
the Dell™PowerEdge™SC 1425 server
is ideal for high-performance cluster
computing and web serving.
Dell PowerEdge SC1425
Performance
Offering clustered environments a cost-effective, high performance solution, the PowerEdge SC1425 is
tailored specifically to the demands and requirements of distributed server infrastructures. With dual
Intel®Xeon™processors, this 1U server provides excellent performance with clock speeds as high as
3.8GHz for fast access to system memory. Additionally, it features an 800MHz front side bus designed
for more data processing in less time. It also includes Intel Extended Memory 64 Technology (EM64T)
to enable continued utilization of existing 32-bit technology and the capacity to incorporate 64-bit
operating systems and applications in the future.
The PowerEdge SC1425 server features scalable memory with up to 16GB of SDRAM, based on DDR-2
memory technology that can deliver twice the density of previous generations for greater memory
scalability. The PowerEdge SC1425 server also includes a 64-bit/133MHz PCI-X®I/O slot that enables
simple system expansion with the addition of PCI-X adapters.
What’s more, the server is designed to integrate easily into high performance cluster applications and
web serving environments. Dell offers validated, configured and supported PowerEdge SC1425 server
cluster bundles based on extensive testing and integration efforts by Dell’s world-class HPCC lab.
Manageability and Serviceability
The PowerEdge SC1425 server features easy manageability and serviceability tools including an
embedded IPMI 1.5 compliant baseboard management controller. The controller enables remote
management over a network or serial connection with any industry-standard management program.
Plus, the tool-less chassis is highly serviceable and features an Active ID light that communicates
system status at a glance as well as an LED system identification button on the rear of the chassis. It
mimics the LED functionality of the front bezel LED and serves as a system locator for simple
serviceability from the back of the rack.
The PowerEdge SC1425 server can provide high-performance compute cluster and web environments
with the exact server configuration they require. It delivers great performance without the high
availability features already present in clustered applications saving you money and complexity.
