Memory

The PowerEdge R750 server has a total of 32 DDR4 DIMM slots. That’s eight more DIMM slots than the R740, which makes the R750 even more scalable. Three types of memory can be used with the PowerEdge R750, which are: ECC Registered (RDIMM), Load Reduced (LRDIMM), and Intel Optane Persistent Memory 200 Series (PMem). Module capacities of 8GB, 16GB, 32GB, 64GB, 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB can be used with the R750. 128GB and 256GB modules can only be used by one type of memory, which is Load Reduced. 512GB modules can only be used by Intel Optane Persistent Memory. It is important to know that when using Intel Optane PMem, you can only use 16 DIMM slots. You cannot use all 32 DIMM slots with PMem. With Load Reduced and Intel Optane, you can achieve an overall greater memory capacity than if you were to use ECC Registered. When using RDIMMs, the greatest total RAM capacity you can reach is 2048GB with a configuration of 32x64GB modules. With LRDIMMs, you can reach an overall RAM capacity of 8192GB with a configuration of 32x256GB modules. For Intel Optane PMem, you can reach a maximum RAM capacity of 8192GB with a 16x512GB module configuration. The R750 server accepts memory speeds of 2666MT/s, 2933MT/s, and 3200MT/s. The processors that you install in your system will determine that maximum memory speed that the system can run. The highest possible memory speed you can achieve is 3200MT/s. If install a processor that supports a lower maximum memory speed, and install modules with a speed higher than the max, the speed of the module will clock down to the max speed. For example, if your processor supports max RAM speed of 2666MT/s and install a 3200MT/s module, the module will run at a speed of 2666MT/s.

Storage

The Dell PowerEdge R750 server has a wide selection of supported storage options. The form factor of the server’s chassis will determine the size of drive you can install. A small form factor system accepts 2.5” drives while a larger form factor system accepts 3.5”. The bay count of the chassis, as well as if it comes with a rear drive kit, will determine how many drives you can install. Depending on what chassis you have, you can install HDD, SSD, M.2, and uSD drives. The supported drive interfaces for the R750 are SATA, SAS, and NVMe.

NVMe Options & Upgrades

NVMe is an amazing technology that is heavily in demand, NVMe drives are generally must faster, than non-NVMe drives. NVMe brings huge performance benefits to any system that utilizes it. The Dell PowerEdge R750 server has lots of support for NVMe.

U.2 NVMe and Backplane NVMe

Some systems do not have NVMe capable backplanes and to get around this you can use a U.2 NVMe enablement kit. The issue with this is that it is not supported by every system. Luckily, depending on what R750 chassis you have, the backplane will support NVMe out of the box. There are two versions of the 24 Bay SFF chassis that supports NVMe. For the first version, all 24 drive bays have NVMe capabilities. For the second version, only the last 8 bays support NVMe drives.

M.2 NVMe

With the BOSS-S2 controller card in the back of the R750, you can install a total of two M.2 NVMe drives. The BOSS-S1 can be used as well with this server. One big advantage that the BOSS-S2 has over the BOSS-S1 is that the BOSS-S2 supports hot-swap. This good for if an M.2 drive fails, you can replace it without powering off your server. Both the BOSS-S1 and BOSS-S2 support hardware RAID.

Power Supplies

How Many Power Supplies does the R750 Take?

The Dell PowerEdge R750 server can hold a total of two hot-swap power supplies. Hot-swap means that a power supply unit can be added or removed while the system is powered on. One power supply must remain within the system to keep the server running.

Wattage Options

There is a total of four different power supply options. These options are 800W, 1100W, 1400W, and 2400W. Each of these are great options, but if your application requires a great amount of power, using a high wattage PSU is the best option. Another thing to consider is the number of power supplies that you install into your server. If you’re server cannot afford to be powered down, then installing two power supplies is your best bet. Having two power supplies provides protection if one of your power supplies fail.

Voltage

All power supplies options for the PowerEdge R750 are mixed mode, meaning that they support a greater voltage range. Mixed voltage power supplies range from 100V to 240W. Mixed mode power supplies will automatically adjust depending on the voltage.

Power Supply Placement

The power supplies are located in the rear of the chassis. The R740 has the power supplies on only one side of the chassis. For the R750, there is a power supply on each side of the server. This is to improve the cooling and airflow of the server.

RAID Options

The Dell PowerEdge R750 has a large selection of storage controllers to choose from. There are both RAID (PERC) and non-RAID options. Both of these types of storage controllers are good options, but the one that’s best for you depends on your application. You also have the choice to use a software RAID. Non-RAID adapters can not be used to configure RAID, but they can be used as a boot controller as well as a data controller. PERC RAID controllers allows you to set up your drives into a RAID array. A software RAID does the same thing, but it is more limited than a hardware RAID.

U.2 NVMe and Backplane NVMe

Some systems do not have NVMe capable backplanes and to get around this you can use a U.2 NVMe enablement kit. The issue with this is that it is not supported by every system. Luckily, depending on what R750 chassis you have, the backplane will support NVMe out of the box. There are two versions of the 24 Bay SFF chassis that supports NVMe. For the first version, all 24 drive bays have NVMe capabilities. For the second version, only the last 8 bays support NVMe drives.

M.2 NVMe

With the BOSS-S2 controller card in the back of the R750, you can install a total of two M.2 NVMe drives. The BOSS-S1 can be used as well with this server. One big advantage that the BOSS-S2 has over the BOSS-S1 is that the BOSS-S2 supports hot-swap. This good for if an M.2 drive fails, you can replace it without powering off your server. Both the BOSS-S1 and BOSS-S2 support hardware RAID.

Power Supplies

How Many Power Supplies does the R750 Take?

The Dell PowerEdge R750 server can hold a total of two hot-swap power supplies. Hot-swap means that a power supply unit can be added or removed while the system is powered on. One power supply must remain within the system to keep the server running.

Wattage Options

There is a total of four different power supply options. These options are 800W, 1100W, 1400W, and 2400W. Each of these are great options, but if your application requires a great amount of power, using a high wattage PSU is the best option. Another thing to consider is the number of power supplies that you install into your server. If you’re server cannot afford to be powered down, then installing two power supplies is your best bet. Having two power supplies provides protection if one of your power supplies fail.

Voltage

All power supplies options for the PowerEdge R750 are mixed mode, meaning that they support a greater voltage range. Mixed voltage power supplies range from 100V to 240W. Mixed mode power supplies will automatically adjust depending on the voltage.

Power Supply Placement

The power supplies are located in the rear of the chassis. The R740 has the power supplies on only one side of the chassis. For the R750, there is a power supply on each side of the server. This is to improve the cooling and airflow of the server.

RAID Options

The Dell PowerEdge R750 has a large selection of storage controllers to choose from. There are both RAID (PERC) and non-RAID options. Both of these types of storage controllers are good options, but the one that’s best for you depends on your application. You also have the choice to use a software RAID. Non-RAID adapters can not be used to configure RAID, but they can be used as a boot controller as well as a data controller. PERC RAID controllers allows you to set up your drives into a RAID array. A software RAID does the same thing, but it is more limited than a hardware RAID.
