How to start

  • Service tags or an inventory export help if you have them. Photos, a description, or an inventory-visit request can start the conversation.
  • For in-house sanitization, we remove and wipe drives in Oakland and destroy any that fail. On-site shredding requests are confirmed separately.

Plan around the whole server retirement

Your PowerEdge clearout may span several generations, with rack servers, tower systems, and spare components in the same room. Include the older units alongside the more recent equipment. The model examples below help describe the range; they are not a requirement that every system match a listed configuration.

Tell us whether the servers are still in a rack, already removed, or held at more than one site. Include loose drives, memory, rails, and other hardware in the description. We confirm what is included and how the collection will work before the job.

Start with the information you already have

Service tags, model labels, and an existing inventory export help identify systems. If those are not available, photos of the front and rear of the equipment and a rough count are a useful start. Known CPU, memory, and drive details can follow as we discuss the lot.

Let us know about missing drive carriers, power supplies, or other components, as well as systems with known faults. You do not need to power up or dismantle each server solely to make an inquiry. Where the inventory is unclear, request a visit and we will confirm availability and scope.

Agree on drives and collection access

Identify which servers still contain drives and whether you have a separate box of removed media. Keep any existing asset references with the equipment so we can discuss the records your team needs. Retain required files before releasing hardware.

In-house sanitization is performed in Oakland, with a certificate per drive serial. Requests for on-site HDD/SSD shredding are confirmed separately. Tell us about loading access and any building requirements when arranging pickup.

Questions about Dell PowerEdge servers

Can I include Dell PowerEdge servers in a mixed lot?

Yes. Include Dell PowerEdge servers with the other hardware you need to clear out. We review the whole lot and confirm the scope before collection.

What do I need to send for a quote on Dell PowerEdge servers?

Service tags or an inventory export help if you have them. Photos, a description, or an inventory-visit request can start the conversation.

What happens to the drives in my Dell PowerEdge servers?

For in-house sanitization, we wipe drives in Oakland to NIST SP 800-88 and issue a certificate per serial. Failed wipes lead to physical destruction. You can request on-site HDD/SSD shredding; availability, scope, and documentation are confirmed per job.
