Dell PowerEdge R760 2U Server
The Dell PowerEdge R760 is a 2U rack server built for enterprise workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 6426Y processors running at 2.5GHz with a 4.1GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 512GB of DDR5-4800 ECC registered memory across 16 modules. A PERC H965i RAID controller with 8GB NV cache manages up to sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap drive bays.
Suited for virtualisation and database clusters
This server fits organisations running VMware vSphere, Hyper-V or Proxmox VE clusters, plus Microsoft SQL Server and software-defined storage. The dual-socket design and 32 memory slots allow growth to 8TB of DDR5. Buyers who need 3.5-inch drive bays or a 1U form factor should consider a different chassis.
Sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap bays define storage
The chassis provides exactly sixteen 2.5-inch drive trays supporting SAS, SATA, SSD and NVMe devices. No drives are installed, so the buyer must populate bays to match capacity and performance targets. The H965i controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across these bays.

Questions about this item
How do I install the Dell PERC H965i RAID controller and what step is often missed?
The H965i controller installs in a dedicated internal slot; the step often missed is connecting the 8 GB NV cache module and enabling NVMe RAID modes in the controller BIOS before creating virtual disks.
What maintenance will the 512 GB DDR5-4800 memory configuration need later?
The 16 installed 32 GB DDR5-4800 ECC RDIMMs occupy half of the 32 slots; future maintenance may involve adding matching modules up to the 8 TB maximum or replacing a failed DIMM identified by iDRAC9 alerts.
What limit appears first when both 1400 W power supplies run at full load continuously?
The dual 1400 W platinum supplies share the load; the first limit under sustained full load is the combined 1400 W output capacity of a single supply if the other fails, so plan workloads to stay within one supply’s rating for redundancy.
