Dell PowerEdge R860 Base Knowledge
Built for business-critical
The Dell R860 supports 4 Processors on a 2U system by stacking the processors on top of each other. There is a PEM board that gets mounted on top of the 1st and second CPU. This second board holds 2 Processors and 32 DIMMs. This design is highly efficient and will bring a lot of advantages to your configuration needs.
Built for business-critical
Accelerate a wide range of applications with this four-socket 2U air-cooled design. Deliver faster results from your core operations while consolidating into fewer, more powerful servers thanks to the latest 4th generation Intel Xeon scalable processors.
- Take advantage of four powerful Intel® Xeon® processors (up to 60 cores per processor) and up to 64 DDR DIMMs for 16TB of memory, supporting large in-memory databases
- Scale up with support for up to 24 drives and 8 PCIe Gen 5 expansion slots
- Experience fast deployments and high server density in an air-cooled environment thanks to the slim 2U architecture
Maximize your core operations with a powerful, dense compute foundation
The R860 with a 2U air-cooled form factor and four (4) Intel Xeon® Scalable Processors enables businesses to accelerate a wide variety of core and business-critical applications including databases, analytics, and other data-driven applications.
- With a maximum CPU core count of 60 cores and the ability to support 64 DDR5 DIMMs for a total of 16TB of memory, the R860 is large enough to run in-memory databases and multiple applications.
- Scale up business needs with support for up to 24 NVMe drives, DIMMs, 8 PCIe Gen5 slots for I/O expansion, LOM, and industry standard OCP to enable customers flexible network connectivity.
- Enable fast 1:1 CPU-I/O communications with PCIe Gen5 adaptor support.
Purpose-built operations and workload performance
- Harness the latest generation technologies including DDR5 memory, PCIe Gen 5.0, and NVMe SSDs to maximize data transformation, support large in-memory databases, and generate faster insights to drive the business forward.
- Leverage new workload accelerators built into each Intel Xeon processor that are purpose-designed for peak performance in traditional and emerging business applications.
- Deploy quickly with slim 2U form factor, enabling IT organizations to consolidate more operations into fewer, more powerful servers, and high density in air-cooled environments.
Increase efficiency and accelerate operations with autonomous collaboration
The Dell OpenManage™ systems management portfolio delivers a secure, efficient, and comprehensive solution for PowerEdge servers. Simplify, automate and centralize one-to-many management with the OpenManage Enterprise console and iDRAC.
Cyber Resilient Architecture for Zero Trust IT environment & operations
Security is integrated into every phase of the PowerEdge lifecycle, including protected supply chain and factory-to-site integrity assurance. Silicon-based root of trust anchors end-to-end boot resilience while Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) and role-based access controls ensure trusted operations
R860 available internal storage configurations:
There is no 16 Drive Backplane. The 16x 2.5" consists of (2) 8x 2.5" SAS/SATA backplanes or (2) of the 8x 2.5" NVMe backplanes. These can be mixed in a single configuration with two PERCs installed to control each set of drives.
The R860 has only a few backplanes that can create all the configurations below.
