Read Drive Options 
The R7615 has two rear drive options that are only supported in the 12LFF and the 24SFF Backplane Chassis Configurations. There is a Stacked Side-by-Side 4xSFF drive cage and a Side-by-Side 2xSFF Drive cage. These will take over the PCIe slots that use up the same space. The Table below will show you all the configurations possible for this Dell PowerEdge R7615 Rack Server.
AMD Processor & Heatsink
The Dell PowerEdge R7615 supports One 4th Generation AMD EPYC 9004 Series processor with up to 128 cores per processor.
Heatsink & FansThe PowerEdge R7615 requires various cooling components based on CPU TDP, storage modules, rear drives, GPU, and persistent memory to maintain optimum thermal performance. If a GPU is installed you will need to install the L-Type Heat Sink. Air cooling or Optional Direct Liquid Cooling (DLC) are the two options for cooling the system. Required for certain CPU SKUs and/or configuration. DLC cooling is not a self-contained solution, it requires rack-level product support (see DLC 3000 or DLC 7000 products).
The PowerEdgeR7615system system supports up to six high-performance silver grade (HPR SLVR) or high-performance gold (HPR Gold) cooling fans.
For all the details about the cooling specs of this server, please view the “Thermal restriction matrix” on the Dell R7615 Installation and Service Manual.
Memory Options
With only 1 Processor in the Dell PowerEdge R7615 Rack Server. It can only hold 12 DDR5 DIMM slots and supports RDIMM up to 3 TB max, speeds up to 4800 MT/s. The R7615 only supports registered ECC DDR5 DIMMs.
Unbuffered DIMMs (UDIMMs) are not supported.

| Note: On the system board, the supported OCP PCIe width is x8; when x16 PCIe width is installed, it is downgraded to x8. |
Storage Controllers Options
The Dell R7615 supports PERC 11 and PERC 12 cards for both RAID and Networking purposes. There are a few configurations where you can install both NVME and SAS/SATA drives in the same Chassis. This is done in two ways. Select the 24 Bay Universal Chassis that has Direct Connect NVMe ports for up to 8 drives. Or you can choose the 8 SFF NVMe Chassis and install an extra 8 SFF Universal backplane for a total of 16 drives. The 8 SFF NVMe Backplane is not a direct connect so you will need to install a fPERC.
There are a few more configurations worth looking into. You can find them in the cabling section of the manual below.
