DELL PowerEdge R750 2U 24 Bay 2.5" 2x Xeon Silver 4316 2.3GHz 20C 128GB DDR4 H755 24x 960GB SSD

PowerEdge R750 2U 24-bay server

The Dell PowerEdge R750 is a 2U rackmount server equipped with two Intel Xeon Silver 4316 processors running at 2.3 GHz with 20 cores each. It ships with 128 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across eight 16 GB modules. The system includes a PERC H755 RAID controller with 8 GB NV cache and battery backup. Twenty-four 960 GB SATA solid-state drives are pre-installed in the 2.5-inch drive bays.

Installation and common issues

The server arrives with ready rails and a front bezel for standard rack mounting. Hot-swap power supplies and drive carriers simplify hardware replacement without downtime. The LGA 4189 socket and 32 DIMM slots require careful alignment during any processor or memory upgrades. Builders who need 3.5-inch drive support or more than two processors will find the 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis and dual-socket limit restrictive.

Capacity and headroom

The dual 20-core CPUs and 128 GB DDR4 handle virtualisation, databases and analytics workloads with ample thread count and memory bandwidth. The H755 controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across the 24 SATA SSDs for flexible redundancy and performance tuning. Dual 10 GbE SFP+ ports and iDRAC 9 Enterprise provide high-speed connectivity and remote management. Workloads demanding more than 24 drive bays, NVMe-only storage or memory beyond the installed 128 GB will exceed this configuration.
