PowerEdge R760 for enterprise workloads
The Dell PowerEdge R760 is a 2U rack server built for demanding enterprise workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 6416H processors, each delivering 18 cores at 2.2GHz with a 4.2GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 128GB of DDR5-4800 ECC registered memory across 32 slots, scaling up to 8TB. This configuration targets virtualization, AI, databases, and software-defined storage deployments.
Storage controller and drive bays
The PERC H965i RAID controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60 with 8GB of non-volatile cache and NVMe capability. Sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap bays accept SAS, SATA, SSD, and NVMe drives, though only four drive trays are included. The Broadcom 5720 quad-port 1GbE OCP 3.0 network adapter provides four Ethernet connections. Dual 1400W platinum power supplies and iDRAC9 Datacenter management complete the package.
DDR5 memory and PCIe Gen5 limits
The platform uses DDR5 memory exclusively; older DDR generations are physically and electrically incompatible. PCI Express Gen5 slots provide high bandwidth for modern accelerators and storage, but maximum throughput depends on the specific expansion cards installed. Buyers needing more than four drive trays, additional network ports, or GPU acceleration must source those components separately. The two-processor maximum is already populated, so CPU upgrades require replacing the existing Gold 6416H modules.

Questions about this item
Does the H965i controller limit the PCIe lane width or speed that NVMe drives can use?
The Dell PERC H965i front RAID controller supports NVMe drives and provides 8 GB of NV cache. It handles RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across the 16 drive bays.
What rail kit depth does the 2U chassis need, and does the bezel add any clearance?
The server includes Dell ReadyRails sliding rails and a front bezel. The 2U rack height fits standard four-post racks; the bezel mounts flush and does not require extra depth.
What is the correct order to seat the CPUs, memory and the H965i card before the first power-on?
Install both Xeon Gold 6416H processors into the LGA 4677 sockets first, then populate the 128 GB DDR5-4800 modules across the 32 slots, and finally insert the H965i controller into its dedicated front slot before applying power.
