The Dell PowerEdge R760 is a 2U dual-socket rack server built to handle demanding enterprise workloads, including AI and machine learning applications. This full-featured, cyber-resilient server delivers robust performance in a purpose-built mainstream design suited to modern data centers.
There is no 16-bay backplane. Each of these configurations below is built with multiple 8 EDSFF E3.S Backplanes.
- 16 x EDSFF E3.S (Gen5 x 4 NVMe Direct)
- 16 x EDSFF E3.S (NVMe RAID) - Dual fPERC (H965i)
There are so many options we had to split them up to make it easier to understand the scale the R760 can perform.
12x 3.5" SAS/SATA
8x 2.5" SAS/SATA/NVMe
8x 2.5" NVMe
8x 2.5" EDSFF E3.S
24x 2.5" SAS/SATA/NVMe
24x 2.5" NVMe Passive
24x 2.5" NVMe SwitchedUp to 2 x 4th Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable or Intel® Xeon® Max Processors with up to 56 cores
There are three types of heat sinks for this Dell R760 Rack server. The heat sink option is based on the configuration and the TDP of the CPU. Any TPD above 250W will be liquid-cooled.
- STD HSK ≤ 165 W (supports only 2.5-inch drives and non-GPU configuration)
- 2U HPR HSK 165 W–350 W (supports 2.5-inch drives and non-GPU configuration)
- L-type HSK Supports all GPU/FPGA configurations
Any Processors TPD above 250W will need the liquid-cooled system installed.
CPUs 9480, 9470, 8470Q and 6458Q are supported only in liquid cooling configuration.
Cooling on this Dell Gen16 server comes in two forms: air-cooled or Direct Liquid Cooled (DLC). Opting for DLC on the CPUs removes the rear VGA port, though it can be restored either at the front or rear — with the rear option consuming a PCIe slot.
GPU and FPGA cards on this system require a 1U L-type heat sink and GPU shroud, with GPU configurations limited to High-Performance Gold (HPR Gold) fans only.
Six hot-swap fans come standard on this system, with fan type varying by CPU TDP and overall configuration — similar to how heat sink selection works. The supported fan types are outlined below.
Up to six hot-swap fans- Standard (STD) fans
- High-performance Silver (HPR Silver) fans
- High-performance Gold (HPR Gold) fans
- For TDP that are 250W+ requires DLC
Installing a rear drive on the Dell PowerEdge R760 requires the High-Performance Gold fan, unless the CPU TDP reaches 270W or higher.
Each rear drive cage requires an additional fan for proper cooling, along with an airflow baffle — both of which are included when rear drives are ordered.
Rear drives supported on the 12 LFF and the 24 SFF Chassis.
In-memory workloads get a boost from up to 32 DDR5 RDIMMs at 4400 MT/s (2DPC), or up to 4800 MT/s when limited to 16 DDR5 RDIMMs (1DPC).

Dell's RAID controller lineup includes the fPERC solution, delivering a base RAID hardware controller that skips PCIe slot usage entirely — accomplished through a small form factor, high-density connector to the base planar.
PERC11 and PERC12 controllers are both supported on this system, with dual-controller setups possible using one fPERC and one APERC card. Check the manual's cabling section for supported configuration details.

| Internal Boot | Boot Optimized Storage Subsystem (BOSS-N1): HWRAID 2 x M.2 NVMe SSD USB |

| NOTE: PowerEdge does not support Tri-Mode, the mixing of SAS, SATA, and NVMe behind the same controller. | |
| NOTE: The Universal Backplane supports HW RAID for SAS/SATA with direct attach NVMe, and does not support HW RAID for NVMe. | |
This server includes a boot option via 2x M.2 NVMe drives on the optional BOSS-N1 card, as seen across most Dell systems — though its position shifts depending on which risers or rear drives are installed.
The BOSS-N1 card carrier installs without a system shutdown; powering down is only needed for installing the BOSS-N1 controller card module.

NIC support on the Dell PowerEdge R760 (Gen16) comes down to a choice between the LOM card or the MIC card — only one can be installed at a time. Separately, the OCP 3.0 slot remains available regardless of which one you choose.
- 1 GbE x 2
The standard LOM on the Dell PowerEdge R760 is optional and supports 2x 1Gb ports via a BCM5720 LAN controller.
Management Interface card (MIC)
- 25 GbE x 2
- 100 GbE x 2
Installing a Dell Data Processing Unit (DPU) card requires the MIC to be installed as well — and since the MIC uses the LOM ports, a separate LOM card cannot be installed alongside it.
Open Compute Project (OCP) 3.0
- 1GbE x 4
- 10 GbE x 2
- 10 GbE x 4
- 25 GbE x 2
- 25 GbE x 4
Note that installing an x16 card in the OCP 3.0 slot will downgrade to x8 due to this system board's OCP limitations. Port capacity also differs between the two options — the LOM caps out at two ports, while the OCP 3.0 slot handles cards with up to 4 ports.
This system offers up to 8x PCIe Gen4 or 4x PCIe Gen5 slots, spread across 4 riser slots with 15 riser cards forming 14 distinct PCIe riser configurations. Take time reviewing the options, and reach out for support if needed — the table below maps each riser card to its corresponding configuration.

Paddle Card KitGPU support on this system tops out at two double-wide 350W accelerators or six single-wide 75W accelerators. Installing GPUs requires swapping the default air shroud for the GPU air shroud, which also needs a filler installed whenever a single-width GPU card or empty riser slot is present.
All GPU/FGPA cards require 1U L-type HSK and GPU shroud.
