DELL PowerEdge R960 4U rack server 64 DDR5 slots 16TB max memory 4 Xeon max 16 2.5" bays

4U rack server for in-memory workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R960 is a 4U rack server designed for large in-memory databases, dense virtualization and business-critical workloads. It accepts up to four Intel Xeon Scalable processors with a maximum of 60 cores per processor. The chassis provides 64 DDR5 DIMM slots supporting RDIMMs at 4800 MT/s and a total memory capacity of 16 TB. No processors, memory or storage are installed.

Security features and storage expansion

Cryptographically signed firmware, Silicon Root of Trust, Secure Boot, Secure Erase and Secured Component Verification protect the platform at the hardware level. A TPM 2.0 module with FIPS and CC-TCG certification is included. The 2.5-inch drive chassis supports up to 16 SAS or SATA drives with Smart Flow cooling and a PERC11 controller. The system also accommodates up to four double-wide GPUs for accelerated workloads.

64 DDR5 slots define maximum capacity

The 64 DDR5 slots set the hard limit of 16 TB total memory and determine which RDIMM modules are compatible. Buyers needing more memory capacity or a different memory generation cannot use this platform.
