Installation Media for Server 2012 Essentials
I wanted to get the install media for Server 2012 Essentials in case my customer can't come up with it in an emergency. It came preinstalled on a Dell PowerEdge server. On this download page, I see Server 2012 R2 Essentials, but NOT the non-R2 edition.

Any idea on how to get the proper ISO or order the replacement media?
Dell seems to say the DVD is no longer available for purchase. Here are the part number they gave me. Does not compute.
494K9 MOD,SW,WS12ESSENTIALS,DOC,MUL 421-9712 Windows Server 2012 Essentials edition,Media Kit
5TXWN MOD,SW,WS2012ESSENTIALS,FI,MUL 421-9711 Windows Server 2012 Essentials Edition,Factory Installed, No Media, 2 Socket, 1VM
Thanks!!!

That page does NOT have the Server 2012 Essentials - only Server 2012 and 2012 Essentials R2. I stated that in my question. But, I found the download elsewhere so I'm all set at this point. Someone gave me the full name of the file download which is still on Visual Studio for download. From that I found the file's SHA1 value on Heidoc.net Then I found a sketchy download site and got the file. Then I retrieved the hash value of the file and compared it to the "known good" hash value. They matched, so I have an unadulterated copy of the file. Credit to me for hard work and aggravating everyone on the internet until I found it.
