Memory
The Dell PowerEdge R7515 has 16 DDR4 DIMM slots inside. There 8 memory channels that each consist of two DIMM slots. Slots are color-coded white and black to help distinguish the memory channels.
Supported Memory Types and Capacities
Two types of memory are accepted by the R7515 server: ECC Registered (RDIMMs) and Load Reduced (LRDIMMs). Module capacities of 8GB, 16GB, 32GB, 64GB, and 128GB can be used with the PowerEdge R7515. It is important to know that 128GB modules can only be used with one type of RAM: Load Reduced. With LRDIMMs, you can achieve an overall greater RAM capacity than you can with RDIMMs. With RDIMMs, the greatest possible configuration you can achieve is 1TB (1024GB) with 16x64GB. On the other hand, with LRDIMMs you can achieve a maximum configuration of 2TB (2048GB) with 16x128GB.
Supported Memory Speeds
The Dell PowerEdge R7515 supported memory speeds of 2666MT/s, 2933MT/s, and 3200MT/s. The processor you install will determine that maximum memory speed that installed modules can run at. If you install a processor that supports a lower max memory speed than the speeds that you have installed, then the install modules will clock down to that maximum speed. For example, if the install processor supports a max speed of 2933MT/s, and you install a 3200MT/s module, the module will operate at 2933MT/s.
Storage
The PowerEdge R7515 has many potential storage options that are compatible. The chassis of the R7515 determines whether you can install 2.5” or 3.5” drives. If you system has a rear drive kit, then you can install an additional two 3.5” drives. The R7515 accepts HDDs, SSDs, and M.2s. Supported drive interfaces are: SATA, SAS, and NVMe.

NVMe Options & Upgrades
NVMe is offers many benefits over most non-NVMe drives. NVMe drives bring major performance gains to your system. If you are wondering if the R7515 supports NVMe, the answer is yes!
U.2 NVMe and Backplane NVMe
Out of the three chassis options for the Dell PowerEdge R7515, only one supports U.2 NVMe drives. The 24 Bay SFF chassis has an NVMe capable backplane, meaning that you can install NVMe U.2 drives into the system’s drive bays. The 8 Bay LFF chassis and the 12 Bay LFF chassis only supports SAS and SATA drives.
M.2 NVMe
Up to two M.2 drives can be installed into the PowerEdge R7515 via a BOSS S1 card, but NVMe drives cannot be used. Only non-NVMe M.2 drives can be used with the Dell BOSS S1 card, meaning there is no M.2 NVMe solutions for the PowerEdge R7515.
Power Supplies
The Dell PowerEdge R6515 can accept up to two hot-swap power supply units (PSU). Because the PSUs are hot-swap, they can be removed or added while the system is running, as long as one unit remains plugged into the server. There are two power supply options to choose from: 550W AC Platinum and 700W 100-240VAC Platinum. For more power-intensive application, it is best to go with the 700W options. For lower-end applications, the 550W unit works just fine.
Wattages
The wattages for the R715 are: 495W, 750W, 1100W, and 1600W. All of these options are great options, but the best one for you depends on you application. For more power-intensive applications, the 1100W and 1600W are the best choice. For lower-end applications, the 495W and 750W units are your best bet.
Voltages
Each power supply wattage option has an input voltage associated with it. It is important to know this voltage, so you can choose the right power supply for your connection. Using a power supply with a voltage that is not supported by your connection may prevent your server from powering on. The possible voltage options are 100-240VAC, 200-240VAC, 240VDC, 200-380VDC, and (-48)-(-60)VDC. 495W units only come in 100-240VAC. 750W options only come in 200-240VAC, 240VDC, and 100-240VAC. For 1100W, voltage options are 200-380VDC, 100-240VAC, (-48)-(-60)VDC. Lastly, for 1600W, the only voltage option is 100-240VAC.
RAID Options
The Dell PowerEdge R7515 supports a handful of storage controllers/adapters. There are both (PERC) RAID and non-RAID options. Both are great options, but the one that is best for you, heavily depends on your application. You don’t need the ability to configure RAID, then a non-RAID option may be your best bet. A non-RAID adapter can be used as a boot controller as well as a data controller. If configuring RAID is a requirement, then a PERC RAID controller is the way to go. You can also use a software RAID, but this will be more limited than a hardware RAID option.

U.2 NVMe and Backplane NVMe
Out of the three chassis options for the Dell PowerEdge R7515, only one supports U.2 NVMe drives. The 24 Bay SFF chassis has an NVMe capable backplane, meaning that you can install NVMe U.2 drives into the system’s drive bays. The 8 Bay LFF chassis and the 12 Bay LFF chassis only supports SAS and SATA drives.
M.2 NVMe
Up to two M.2 drives can be installed into the PowerEdge R7515 via a BOSS S1 card, but NVMe drives cannot be used. Only non-NVMe M.2 drives can be used with the Dell BOSS S1 card, meaning there is no M.2 NVMe solutions for the PowerEdge R7515.
Power Supplies
The Dell PowerEdge R6515 can accept up to two hot-swap power supply units (PSU). Because the PSUs are hot-swap, they can be removed or added while the system is running, as long as one unit remains plugged into the server. There are two power supply options to choose from: 550W AC Platinum and 700W 100-240VAC Platinum. For more power-intensive application, it is best to go with the 700W options. For lower-end applications, the 550W unit works just fine.
Wattages
The wattages for the R715 are: 495W, 750W, 1100W, and 1600W. All of these options are great options, but the best one for you depends on you application. For more power-intensive applications, the 1100W and 1600W are the best choice. For lower-end applications, the 495W and 750W units are your best bet.
Voltages
Each power supply wattage option has an input voltage associated with it. It is important to know this voltage, so you can choose the right power supply for your connection. Using a power supply with a voltage that is not supported by your connection may prevent your server from powering on. The possible voltage options are 100-240VAC, 200-240VAC, 240VDC, 200-380VDC, and (-48)-(-60)VDC. 495W units only come in 100-240VAC. 750W options only come in 200-240VAC, 240VDC, and 100-240VAC. For 1100W, voltage options are 200-380VDC, 100-240VAC, (-48)-(-60)VDC. Lastly, for 1600W, the only voltage option is 100-240VAC.
RAID Options
The Dell PowerEdge R7515 supports a handful of storage controllers/adapters. There are both (PERC) RAID and non-RAID options. Both are great options, but the one that is best for you, heavily depends on your application. You don’t need the ability to configure RAID, then a non-RAID option may be your best bet. A non-RAID adapter can be used as a boot controller as well as a data controller. If configuring RAID is a requirement, then a PERC RAID controller is the way to go. You can also use a software RAID, but this will be more limited than a hardware RAID option.
