Dell PowerEdge R760 2U 24x 2.5in SFF 4th/5th Gen Xeon Scalable Server (CTO)

The Dell PowerEdge R760 is Dell's current 2U, two-socket workhorse, sold configure-to-order. The 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis in this listing is aimed at virtualization clusters, hyperconverged nodes, large databases and AI inference servers that need many drives and several expansion cards in one box.

The R760 supports one or two 4th Generation Intel Xeon Scalable or Xeon Max processors with up to 56 cores each, or 5th Generation Xeon Scalable processors with up to 64 cores each. It has 32 DDR5 RDIMM slots and an 8TB memory ceiling, running at up to 4800 MT/s or 5600 MT/s depending on the CPU generation. The front holds 24 x 2.5-inch SAS, SATA or NVMe drives, and rear cages add two or four more. Other R760 chassis offer 8 or 16 x 2.5-inch, 12 x 3.5-inch or 16 E3.S bays. Controllers include the PERC H965i, H755, H755N and H355 and the HBA355i and HBA465i. BOSS-N1 supplies two M.2 NVMe boot drives.

A 2 x 1GbE LOM card and an OCP 3.0 card are both optional and can be installed together. The chassis takes up to eight PCIe slots, Gen5 or Gen4 by riser, and Dell lists support for two double-wide or six single-wide GPUs. Power supplies go from 700W to 3200W, and iDRAC9 manages the server remotely.

ICT Devices quotes the R760 from your configuration and gives today's price on request. Check these before you send it.

• How many of the 24 bays are NVMe and which controller serves the rest
• Riser layout for the cards and GPUs you plan to fit
• Processor wattage, which affects heatsink and fan choices
• Network: LOM card, OCP 3.0 card and any PCIe adapters
• Power supply size and input voltage: several ratings need 200-240V or 277V
