DELL PowerEdge R750 2U 12 Bay 3.5" 2x Xeon Silver 4316 2.3GHz 20 Core 768GB DDR4 12x 4TB HBA355i

Capacity and role

The Dell PowerEdge R750 is a 2U rack server built for data-intensive workloads and virtualization clusters. Dual Intel Xeon Silver 4316 processors provide 20 cores each at 2.3 GHz with 3.4 GHz turbo. A total of 768 GB DDR4 ECC memory is installed across 24 DIMM slots. Twelve 3.5-inch enterprise SATA hard drives deliver 4 TB each for bulk storage.

Sustained load behaviour

Redundant 1400 W platinum power supplies maintain continuous operation under full CPU and storage utilisation. The HBA355i controller passes SAS 12 Gb/s throughput directly to the drives without RAID overhead. Dual 10 GbE SFP+ ports on the OCP 3.0 card sustain high network throughput for distributed workloads. iDRAC 9 Enterprise enables remote monitoring and firmware updates without host downtime.

Build quality and daily implications

The 2U chassis includes ready rails and a front bezel for standard rack integration. Hot-swap drive bays and power supplies allow component replacement while the server remains online. LGA 4189 sockets support a second processor if capacity needs grow beyond the current two. DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC modules ensure data integrity for mission-critical applications.
