Intel® Server Systems
SR2520SAF, SR2520SAS, and SR2520SASX
Intel® Server Systems SR2520SAF,
SR2520SAS, and SR2520SASX
A Family of Rack-Optimized Server Systems Delivering Highly
Integrated Solutions for Cost-Sensitive Customers
Product Overview
The Intel® Server Systems SR2520SAF, SR2520SAS, and
SR2520SASX represent the latest generation of enterprise-level, rack-optimized system solutions from Intel. Providing higher fl exibility in data storage and security, these scalable, affordable systems are ideal for growing companies running high transaction database applications.
Compatible with the latest multi-core Intel® Xeon® processors 1 with a 667 MHz, 1066 MHz, or 1333 MHz front side bus, this family of systems supports fi ve I/O slots. Designed for a variety of confi gurations, customers can choose the memory and storage solution that meets their needs best.
The rack-optimized systems from Intel provide fl exible storage solutions including 3.5” SATA or SAS drives, as well as support for both fi xed drives and hot-swap drives. The SR2520SAF features four fully buffered DIMM sockets and up to six fi xed SATA drives.
The SR2520SAS and SR2520SASX deliver both hot-swap and redundant power, with eight fully buffered DIMM sockets and up to six hot-swap SAS / SATA drives.
These systems, designed for space-constrained environments, are optimized in either a 2U with redundant power and hot-swap drives or a 2U with fi xed power and fi xed drives.
• The 2U fi xed systems are designed for organizations running
front-end Internet, Web-hosting, and HPC applications.
• The 2U hot-swap systems handle more demanding departmental
database, datacenter, and other high-transaction applications.
The Intel Server Systems SR2520SAF, SR2520SAS, and SR2520SASX each include the Intel® Server
Essentials CD pack, a suite of software applications that are designed to help reduce the complexity of deploying and managing
Intel Server Systems. The Intel Server
Essentials CD pack is comprised of
Intel® Deployment Assistant, a graphical tool aimed at simplifying the process of setting up and deploying an
Intel server, and Intel® System Management Software, a comprehensive software suite designed by Intel and Microsoft to provide local and remote sever management functionality specifi cally for small- and medium-sized businesses. The software included in the Intel® Server Essentials CD pack simplifi es your server setup and can help you not only manage your servers but your entire IT infrastructure.
These integrated systems are designed for increased uptime and serviceability. Over 10,000 hours of testing and validation using other building blocks from Intel, in addition to third-party peripherals and memory, assures compatibility and reliability.

64-bit computing on Intel architecture requires a computer system with a processor, chipset, BIOS, operating system, device drivers and applications enabled for Intel® 64 architecture. Processors will not operate
(including 32-bit operation) without an Intel® 64 architecture-enabled BIOS. Performance will vary depending on your hardware and software confi gurations. Consult with your system vendor for more information.
3 Intel® Virtualization Technology requires a computer system with an enabled Intel® processor, BIOS, virtual machine monitor (VMM), and for some uses, certain platform software enabled for it.
Functionality, performance or other benefi ts will vary depending on hardware and software confi gurations. Intel Virtualization Technology-enabled BIOS and VMM applications are
currently in development.
4 Enabling Execute Disable Bit functionality requires a PC with a processor with Execute Disable Bit capability and a supporting operating system. Check with your PC manufacturer on
whether your system delivers Execute Disable Bit functionality.
5 RAID 5 available by adding the AXXRAKSW5 activation key.
