2U 12-Bay Rack Server
The Dell PowerEdge R750 is a 2U rack server populated with 12 front-accessible 3.5-inch drive bays. Two Intel Xeon Gold 5317 processors deliver 12 cores each at 3.0 GHz with 3.6 GHz turbo. The system ships with 512 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory and dual 1400 W platinum power supplies.
Workloads and Limitations
This configuration suits databases, analytics and virtualization clusters that need large spinning-disk capacity and dual 10 GbE SFP+ uplinks. Buyers who require hardware RAID or NVMe boot drives should evaluate other models because the installed HBA355i provides pass-through only.
HBA355i Pass-Through Controller
The Dell PERC HBA355i is a SAS 12 Gb/s host bus adapter operating in pass-through mode with no RAID functionality. It presents the 12 Enterprise 4 TB 7.2K SATA drives directly to the operating system for software-defined storage or JBOD arrangements.

Questions about this item
How many DDR4 DIMM slots are still free for future memory upgrades?
The server has 32 DDR4 slots total and 16 are populated with 32 GB modules, leaving 16 slots available for expansion up to 2 TB.
Will the twelve 7.2K SATA drives become the throughput bottleneck before the CPUs do?
Each 4 TB drive runs at 7.2K RPM on a 6 Gb/s SATA link, so sustained sequential I/O will hit the mechanical drive limits well before the two 12-core Xeon Gold 5317 processors saturate.
What is the typical power draw and heat output when both 1400 W PSUs are loaded all day?
Dual 1400 W Platinum supplies provide redundancy; actual draw depends on workload but each unit is rated for 1400 W maximum input with high-efficiency conversion to reduce heat.
