Barebone chassis with 16 drive bays

The Dell PowerEdge R860 barebone server provides a 2U rack chassis populated with 16 x 2.5-inch backplanes. No CPU, memory, storage, expansion cards or power supplies are included, so the platform arrives as a flexible foundation for custom assembly.

Who this suits and who should look elsewhere

System integrators and IT teams that want full control over processor selection, memory capacity, storage type and redundancy schemes will benefit from the empty chassis. Buyers who need a ready-to-run server with pre-validated components, factory-installed drives or included power supplies should consider a configured model instead.

LGA 3647 socket and 16-bay backplane

The single specification that decides compatibility is the LGA 3647 processor socket paired with sixteen 2.5-inch drive bays; only CPUs designed for that socket will fit, and the backplane count fixes the maximum number of hot-swap drives at sixteen.

Questions about this item

Which drive bay version should I pick for the R860 barebone?

The unit ships with 16 front 2.5-inch backplanes, so the only bay version available is that 16-bay 2.5-inch layout.

What does the 16 x 2.5-inch backplane figure mean once the server is built?

It provides sixteen hot-plug slots for 2.5-inch drives, letting you populate each bay with the capacity and drive type your workload needs.

What CPU interface does the R860 use and what does it limit?

The board uses an LGA 3647 socket, which determines the compatible processor family and maximum core count you can install.
