Product Overview

The Dell PowerEdge R760xs is a 2U, two-socket rack server engineered to deliver a balanced combination of performance and density within an air-cooled chassis. It is purpose-built for mainstream IT applications, offering the right-sized compute capabilities and flexible storage options that organizations need to run virtualized workloads, software-defined storage nodes, and general-purpose enterprise applications without overprovisioning.

The R760xs supports up to two 5th Generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors (Emerald Rapids) with up to 28 cores per socket, or 4th Generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors (Sapphire Rapids) with up to 32 cores per socket. It features 16 DDR5 DIMM slots capable of supporting up to 1.5 TB of RDIMM memory at speeds up to 5200 MT/s. Storage flexibility is a hallmark of this platform, with configurations supporting up to 12 x 3.5-inch SAS/SATA drives, or up to 16 x 2.5-inch SAS/SATA/NVMe drives, plus optional rear bays for additional capacity. The server also provides up to six PCIe slots—including two PCIe Gen5 slots—along with a dedicated OCP 3.0 networking slot and a dedicated PERC slot, enabling up to eight I/O devices in total.

The R760xs is positioned as an accessible entry point into the latest-generation Dell PowerEdge portfolio, ideal for organizations seeking modern performance, PCIe Gen5 bandwidth, and DDR5 memory support in a cost-effective, air-cooled 2U form factor.
