NEARING EOL

When a vendor has not published an exact date, we render an estimated range with an explicit confidence score — never an empty cell. See how to read TPM library records honestly.

Failure Outlook

Age: 7.7 years

Failure likelihood: 45%

Likely to fail (most → least)

  • Non-redundant cabled PSU (single point of failure)
  • CMOS/system battery
  • Cooling fans (system + heatsink)
  • Cabled SAS/SATA backplane connectors

Indicative TPM Pricing

Indicative — not a quote.

SLA tierAnnualMonthly
9×5 NBD $250 – $450 $21 – $38

Monthly = annual ÷ 12. Real TPM monthly billing is typically ~5–10% higher than this — use annual for accurate budgeting.

Find parts for this unit

Bushido publishes the standard bill of materials above. For substitute part chains, current pricing, and serial- or service-tag-specific configurations, go straight to the manufacturer's own portal — the authoritative source. We don't scrape or resell parts data, and we earn nothing from these links.

Dell — official sources

Independent cross-reference — not affiliated with Bushido

Dell does not publish a public substitute cross-reference — alternate-part chains live in Dell's internal service systems. Use the Service Tag lookup for the original BOM, then the third-party cross-reference below for substitutes.

No single manufacturer publishes a cross-vendor "alternative parts" list, and no one official aggregates across all vendors. Lenovo and HPE expose substitute chains publicly; Dell and Sun/Oracle keep them internal or gated. These links are the honest map of where each vendor's data actually lives. If a link is dead or a portal has moved, tell us and we'll fix it.

Standard Bill of Materials (at GA)

The Dell EMC PowerEdge T140 base configuration at GA shipped as a 14th-generation entry-level single-socket mini-tower server built around a single Intel Xeon E-2124 (4-core, 3.30 GHz, 71W TDP) on the Intel C246 chipset, paired with 8 GB of DDR4-2666 ECC UDIMM across one of four available DIMM slots (expandable to 64 GB). Storage consisted of a single 1 TB 7.2K SATA 3.5-inch cabled hard drive in one of four cabled LFF bays, managed by the integrated PERC S140 software RAID controller (supporting RAID 0/1/5/10). Networking was handled by a Broadcom BCM5720 dual-port 1GbE LOM soldered to the motherboard. The system shipped with a single non-redundant cabled 365W Gold-efficiency PSU, iDRAC9 Basic (shared LOM), an internal DVD-ROM optical drive, two chassis cooling fans (one system fan, one heatsink fan), and four PCIe Gen3 expansion slots (one x16, one x8, one x4, one x1). No rack rails were included given the tower form factor.

BOM reflects the standard base configuration at GA (E-2124, 8 GB, 1 TB SATA, PERC S140, single 365W PSU). Non-standard CPU SKUs (E-2200 series, Core i3, Pentium, Celeron), additional/larger drives, optional PERC H330/H730P hardware RAID cards, BOSS M.2 boot card, iDRAC9 Express/Enterprise licenses, and GPU variants are not enumerated. Service-parts numbers may have been superseded; always cross-reference with Dell's spare-parts portal before ordering.

BOM is AI-synthesized from public datasheets. Cross-reference with the vendor's spare-parts portal before ordering.
