SATA SSD
Selected NVMe SSD configurations

The available drive-bay configuration depends on the specific chassis and backplane.

This flexibility makes the R750xs suitable for:

Virtualization datastores
Databases
File servers
Backup systems
Application storage
General enterprise storage

NVMe Storage

Selected R750xs configurations support NVMe SSDs for workloads requiring faster storage performance and lower latency.

NVMe is particularly suitable for:

Database applications
Virtualization
Analytics
Transaction processing
High-performance applications

The exact number of supported NVMe drives depends on the chassis, backplane and configuration.

Dell PERC RAID

The R750xs supports Dell enterprise storage controllers and PERC RAID options.

Depending on configuration, RAID provides:

Data redundancy
Drive fault tolerance
Storage performance optimization
Drive management
Enterprise storage monitoring

The exact RAID controller should be selected based on the storage configuration and workload requirements.

BOSS-S2 Boot Storage

Supported configurations can include Dell’s Boot Optimized Storage Solution S2 (BOSS-S2).

Dedicated boot storage allows the server’s primary drive bays to be used for application and data storage instead of operating-system disks.

This can be beneficial for:

Virtualization hosts
Database servers
Cloud infrastructure
Application servers

PCIe Gen 4 Expansion

The R750xs supports PCIe Gen 4 expansion, providing high-bandwidth connectivity for modern enterprise hardware.

Expansion options can include:

Network adapters
Fibre Channel HBAs
Storage controllers
SAS HBAs
High-speed Ethernet adapters
Other supported PCIe devices

PCIe Gen 4 provides improved bandwidth compared with previous-generation PCIe architectures.

Enterprise Networking

The R750xs supports flexible networking through OCP 3.0 and PCIe-based adapters.

Depending on configuration, networking options can include:

1GbE
10GbE
25GbE
Other supported Ethernet adapters

Network ports can be dedicated to:

Production
Management
Backup
Storage
Virtualization

iDRAC9 Remote Management

The Dell Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller 9 (iDRAC9) provides comprehensive out-of-band management.

Administrators can remotely:

Monitor server health
View hardware inventory
Configure system settings
Manage firmware
Control server power
Troubleshoot hardware
Deploy operating systems
Perform lifecycle management

The R750xs can also be integrated with Dell OpenManage solutions for centralized server management.

Enterprise Security

The R750xs incorporates Dell security technologies designed for enterprise infrastructure.

Depending on configuration, features include:

Secure Boot
Silicon Root of Trust
TPM 2.0
Signed firmware
System Lockdown
Secure Erase
Secured Component Verification

These technologies help protect the server against unauthorized firmware and configuration changes.

Redundant Hot-Plug Power

The R750xs supports redundant hot-plug power supplies in multiple capacities.

The required PSU configuration depends on:

Processor selection
Memory capacity
Number of drives
PCIe expansion
Networking configuration

Redundant power supplies can help improve system availability and allow a failed PSU to be replaced without shutting down the server when appropriately configured.

2U Rack Design

The 2U form factor provides more room than a 1U server for:

Storage drives
PCIe cards
Networking
Cooling
Internal components

This makes the R750xs suitable for data centers that require a balance between rack density and expansion capability.

Ideal Applications

Virtualization

The dual-socket architecture and high memory capacity make the R750xs suitable for VMware, Hyper-V and other enterprise virtualization environments.

Database Servers

Fast storage and substantial memory capacity provide a strong platform for database applications.
