About server parts and spares at Server Hub
The parts that keep a server in the rack and running: sliding rail kits, hot-swap drive caddies and sleds, front bezels, backplanes, and the rack hardware around them, matched to the Dell PowerEdge generations we stock.
These are the components a deployment stalls on — a server that arrived without rails, a caddy short when you add a drive, a bezel or backplane that failed and left a bay unusable. Matching them to the exact chassis generation matters more than anything else: an R640 caddy is not an R730 caddy, and the rails differ by rack depth. Every part here is listed against the models it fits so you order once rather than twice.
All priced in rand with local stock and dispatch. If you are not certain which part your chassis takes, send us the server service tag or model and we will confirm the exact fit before you buy.
Prices include duty and are shown in South African rand. Talk to us for volume pricing or a specification you cannot find here.
Frequently asked questions
What does a RAID controller do?
- A RAID controller manages several drives as one array, so data is striped for speed or mirrored for safety, and a failed drive can be swapped without downtime. Enterprise servers use a hardware RAID card for performance and resilience beyond what the motherboard offers. Match the controller to your drive type (SAS or SATA) and RAID level.
Are server rails and drive caddies model-specific?
- Yes — this matters more than any other server part. An R640 drive caddy is not an R730 caddy, and rail kits differ by rack depth and generation. Every part here is listed against the models it fits; send us the server service tag or model and we will confirm the exact fit before you buy.
Can I add drives to an existing server?
- Usually yes, if the chassis has spare bays and a matching backplane. You need the correct hot-swap caddy for that model, drives the controller supports, and — for more bays — sometimes an expander backplane. Tell us the server model and how many drives you want to add and we will list the exact parts.
