Dell PowerEdge R760 2U rack 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 2.1 GHz with a 3.4 GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 128 GB of DDR5-4800 ECC registered memory across eight modules. A PERC H965i RAID controller with 8 GB NV cache manages storage through four included 2.5-inch drive trays.
Suitable for virtualization.
This configuration suits teams deploying VMware vSphere, Hyper-V or Proxmox VE clusters, as well as AI training, software-defined storage and high-performance computing. The quad-port 1 GbE OCP 3.0 adapter provides baseline connectivity. Buyers who require higher-speed networking, GPU acceleration or pre-installed NVMe drives should look at other configurations.
PERC H965i RAID controller with NV cache
The single specification that decides fit is the Dell PERC H965i front RAID controller. It supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 and includes 8 GB of non-volatile cache for write-back protection. The controller also enables NVMe drive support across the sixteen 2.5-inch bays. If your storage plan relies on a different RAID feature set or does not need NVMe, another server may be more appropriate.

Questions about this item
How much heat do the two 1400 W power supplies put out when the server runs at full load all day?
Each supply is rated at 1400 W platinum efficiency, so typical waste heat is roughly ten percent of the power drawn; actual output depends on the workload you run.
Which drives and cables must I supply to populate the 16 front bays?
The chassis accepts 2.5-inch SAS, SATA or NVMe devices; only four drive trays are included, so you need up to twelve more trays plus the drives themselves.
Will my existing PCIe Gen4 NVMe U.2 drives work in the backplane behind the H965i controller?
The backplane supports NVMe and the H965i handles RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 for NVMe, so Gen4 U.2 drives will operate at their native speed.
