  • Data Analytics

The Dell EMC PowerEdge R7525 is a dual-socket 2U rack server built for flexible I/O and networking configurations. Powered by AMD EPYC Generation 2 and Generation 3 processors, it supports up to 32 DIMMs, PCIe Gen4 expansion slots, and a range of network interface technology options.

Heatsink & Fans & Liquid Colling

The R7525 includes 6 hot-swappable fans and offers two heat sink types — installing any GPUs requires the L-type heat sink along with the GPU shroud.

The new liquid cooling solution efficiently regulates system temperature while offering leak detection through iDRAC via the Liquid Leak Sensor (LLS) mechanism, capable of identifying leaks as small as 0.02ml or as large as 0.2ml. Liquid cooling isn't required across all systems — it's primarily intended for GPU-equipped configurations. Refer to the manual for more details.

Heat sink Processor TDP
STD HSK < 180 W
2U HPR (Silver) HSK >= 180 W
L-type HSK Supports all TDP (system should be installed with GPU/ FGPA/long PCIe cards)
NOTE: All GPU/FGPA cards require 1U L-type HSK and GPU shroud.
NOTE: In Liquid Cooling system, maximum two DW GPUs are supported.
