Dell PowerEdge R760 16 Bay 2U Server
The Dell PowerEdge R760 is a 2U rack server built for enterprise workloads. It ships with dual Intel Xeon Gold 6430 processors running at 2.1GHz with a 3.4GHz turbo frequency across 32 total cores. The system includes 128GB of DDR5-4800 ECC registered memory installed across eight modules. A PERC H965i RAID controller with 8GB NV cache manages four 960GB SATA SSDs in the 16 bay 2.5 inch chassis.
Suits virtualisation and database clusters
This configuration fits organisations running VMware, Hyper-V or Proxmox clusters that need high core counts and fast memory. The 16 drive bays and H965i controller support RAID 0 1 5 6 10 50 60 for local storage performance. Buyers who need GPU density for AI training or more than two processor sockets should evaluate other platforms. The quad port 1GbE OCP 3.0 card limits throughput for high speed storage replication.
Dual Xeon Gold 6430 32 core processors
The two installed Gold 6430 CPUs provide 32 cores at 2.1GHz base clock with 3.4GHz turbo. This core count and frequency determine the server's capacity for concurrent virtual machines and database threads. Memory scales to 8TB across 32 DDR5 slots when workloads grow beyond the factory 128GB. The LGA 4677 socket and 1400 watt redundant power supplies support the full processor thermal envelope.

Questions about this item
What rack height and drive bay count does the PowerEdge R760 need?
The server is a 2U rack unit with sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap bays, so it fits a standard 2U space and accepts up to sixteen drives.
How are the CPUs and memory installed, and what step is often missed?
Two Xeon Gold 6430 processors are pre-installed in LGA 4677 sockets; the 128GB DDR5-4800 ECC RDIMMs populate eight of thirty-two slots, and the step often missed is ensuring all modules are seated in the correct channels for optimal performance.
Which components will need replacement or expansion later?
The H965i RAID controller supports RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 for future drive changes, the four 960GB SATA SSDs can be swapped or added to, memory can grow to 8TB across the remaining slots, and the two 1400W hot-plug power supplies are replaceable without downtime.
