DELL PowerEdge R750 2U rack server 2x Xeon Silver 4310 2.1GHz 12-core 256GB DDR4 24x 600GB SAS H755 2x 1400W

Dual-socket Xeon 2U server

The Dell PowerEdge R750 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon Silver 4310 processors running at 2.1 GHz with 12 cores each. It ships with 256 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 8 modules. The system includes a PERC H755 RAID controller with 8 GB NV cache and battery backup. Twenty-four 600 GB 10K SAS drives populate the 2.5-inch bays. Dual 1400 W platinum power supplies provide redundancy.

Workload fit and limits

This server suits virtualization hosts, database clusters, and analytics workloads that need high core counts and large local storage. Buyers who need more than two processors should look elsewhere because the platform supports a maximum of two CPUs. Teams requiring NVMe boot or cache tiers cannot use the included H755 controller for that purpose. Environments limited to 1U or tower form factors will not accommodate this 2U chassis.

Deciding specification

The installed 256 GB DDR4 across 32 total DIMM slots determines how far memory can scale without replacing modules. The PERC H755 supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60 for the 24 SAS drives. Dual 10 GbE SFP+ OCP 3.0 networking and iDRAC9 Enterprise are integrated for management and connectivity.
