DELL PowerEdge R760 16 Bay 2U Rack Server 2x Xeon Gold 5418Y 24 Core 32GB DDR5 H965i 5720 iDRAC9 2x 1400W

Dual Xeon Gold 5418Y 2U Server

The Dell PowerEdge R760 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon Gold 5418Y processors, each delivering 24 cores at 2.0GHz with 3.8GHz turbo. The system ships with 32GB of DDR5-4800 ECC registered memory across 32 slots, supporting up to 8TB total capacity. It targets enterprises running virtualization, AI inference, databases, and software-defined storage workloads that demand high core counts and memory bandwidth.

PERC H965i RAID with 16 NVMe Bays

The front chassis provides sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap bays supporting SAS, SATA, and NVMe drives, while four drive trays are included. A Dell PERC H965i controller with 8GB NV cache manages RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60 across all bays. Networking uses a Broadcom 5720 quad-port 1GbE OCP 3.0 card, and dual 1400W platinum power supplies with hot-swap redundancy keep the platform running during maintenance.

Upgrade from Smaller-Bay or Single-Socket Systems

This configuration replaces 8-bay 2U servers or single-socket platforms when workloads outgrow their storage density or compute threads. The jump is justified when applications need sixteen NVMe lanes, dual-socket memory interleaving, or iDRAC9 Datacenter automation at scale. Buyers who need fewer drive bays, a single processor, or lower memory ceilings should evaluate smaller chassis options instead.
