PowerEdge R750 2U server

The Dell PowerEdge R750 is a 2U rack server built for enterprise workloads that demand high core counts and large memory capacity. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 5317 processors, each running at 3.0 GHz with 12 cores and a 3.6 GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 512 GB of DDR4 2933 MHz registered ECC memory across 16 DIMM slots. A Dell PERC HBA355i host bus adapter provides SAS 12 Gb/s pass-through connectivity for the internal drive bays.

Suited for virtualization and dense storage.

This configuration targets environments that need 12 bays of 3.5-inch SATA capacity behind a simple HBA, such as backup repositories, software-defined storage nodes or hypervisor hosts that handle RAID in software. Buyers who require a hardware RAID controller with cache protection, or who plan to boot from NVMe drives, should look at a different controller or chassis because the installed HBA355i offers pass-through only and the 3.5-inch backplane does not support NVMe devices.

12-bay 3.5-inch SATA backplane

The chassis provides twelve 3.5-inch drive bays wired to a Dell PERC HBA355i adapter that operates in SAS 12 Gb/s pass-through mode without RAID functionality. Each bay accepts SATA 6 Gb/s hard drives; the unit ships with twelve enterprise 8 TB 7.2K SATA drives installed. This backplane and controller combination determines which drive types and RAID options are available, so verify that your storage software or operating system can manage the drives directly before purchase.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 12x 8TB 3.5" drives into the 2U R750 chassis, and which step is most often missed?

Slide each 3.5" carrier into the front 12-bay backplane until the latch clicks; the step most often missed is securing the latch fully so the SAS/SATA connector seats on the HBA355i backplane.

Which components will need replacement first during the server's service life?

The twelve 7.2K 8TB SATA hard drives are the primary wear items; plan to replace them as they accumulate runtime, while the 1400W platinum PSUs and system fans are hot-swap redundant.

What thermal or power limit appears first when both Xeon Gold 5317 CPUs run at 3.6GHz turbo under sustained load?

The 1400W platinum power supplies set the ceiling; sustained 3.6GHz turbo on both 12-core processors can exceed the 1400W budget before the 2U cooling reaches its limit.
