The Dell EMC PowerEdge R7525 is a two socket, 2U rack servers that is designed to run workloads using flexible I/O and network configurations. The PowerEdge R7525 features the AMD® EPYC™ Generation 2 and Generation 3 processors, supports up to 32 DIMMs, PCI Express (PCIe) Gen 4.0 enabled expansion slots, and a choice of network interface technologies to cover networking options


Deliver breakthrough performance, innovation and density for traditional and emerging workloads
  • 100% more processing cores and faster data transfer speeds with PCIe Gen 4
  • 20% more memory performance for scale-out environments
  • Maximized storage and memory configuration option enables HPC, ML/DL/AI and rendering
  • 24 direct connect Gen4 NVMe supports all-flash vSAN Ready Node
  • Balanced core count and GPU to support for maximum numbers of end users
Increase efficiency and accelerate operations with an automated infrastructure

The Dell EMC OpenManage™ systems management portfolio delivers an efficient and comprehensive solution for PowerEdge servers through tailored, automated, and repeatable processes

  • Automate server life cycle management with scripting via the iDRAC Restful API with Redfish conformance
  • Simplify and centralize one-to-many management with the OpenManage Enterprise console
  • Utilize the OpenManage Mobile app and PowerEdge Quick Sync 2 to easily manage servers using a phone or tablet
  • Resolve issues with up to 72% less IT effort using automated proactive and predictive technology from Pro Support Plus and SupportAssist.

Fortify your data center with integrity

Every PowerEdge server is designed with a cyber-resilient architecture, integrating security deeply into every phase in the lifecycle, from design to retirement

  • Enhance security with platform enablement of AMD Secure Memory Encryption (SME) and Secure Encrypted Virtualization (SEV)
  • Operate your workloads on a secure platform anchored by cryptographically trusted booting and silicon root of trust.
  • Maintain server firmware safety with digitally signed firmware packages
  • Detect and remediate unauthorized or malicious change with drift detection and system lockdown
  • Securely and quickly wipe all data from storage media, including hard drives, SSDs and system memory with System Erase
Heatsink & Fans & Liquid Colling

The R7525 has 6 Hot-Swappable fans and two types of heat sinks. You will need to install the L-Type heat sink and GPU shroud if any GPUs are installed.

The new liquid cooling solution provides an efficient method to manage the system temperature. It also provides a liquid leak detection mechanism via iDRAC. This technology is managed by the Liquid Leak Sensor(LLS) mechanism. LLS determines leaks as small as 0.02 ml or as large as 0.2 ml. Not all systems need Liquid Cooling, this is mainly for when GPUs are installed. Please read the manual for more information on this. 

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.
