About the R750xs
The Dell PowerEdge R750xs is an enterprise 2U rack server engineered for computing and virtualization workloads. Powered by 2 Intel Xeon Scalable 3rd Gen (up to 32 cores, 220W TDP) across 16 memory slots supporting up to 1024GB DDR4-3200 RDIMM, the R750xs balances throughput and memory capacity. In Dell's server catalog, the R750xs was followed by the POWEREDGE-R760XS, positioned alongside rival systems including PROLIANT-DL380-GEN10-PLUS.
Options and compatibility
Processor support on the R750xs utilizes 2 LGA4189 (Socket P+) sockets with thermal heatsinks matching CPU power envelopes. System memory slots on the R750xs require DDR4-3200 RDIMM modules, and mixing RDIMM with LRDIMM memory is not supported. Front backplanes on the R750xs accommodate either DXD9H (2.5-inch SFF) or X7K8W (3.5-inch LFF) trays based on chassis option. Networking on the R750xs uses OCP 3.0 mezzanine slot, and expansion cards install into Up to 5 PCIe Gen4 slots risers.
How to identify it
Physical identification of the R750xs is verified by the 15th-generation high-airflow front security bezel with the R750xs badge on the front chassis ear. The pull-out information tag on the R750xs control panel displays the 7-character Dell Service Tag and default login credentials. In iDRAC9 Gen15, the server identifies as R750xs with active firmware, slot mapping, and power telemetry.
Buying used
When evaluating a pre-owned R750xs, inspect the LGA4189 (Socket P+) CPU socket pins for damage and ensure retention clips are intact. Run Dell ePSA diagnostics across all 16 memory slots of the R750xs to verify zero uncorrectable ECC faults under load. Verify that redundant power supplies in the R750xs match in wattage and that iDRAC9 Gen15 Enterprise remote console is enabled. Ensure required R750xs drive caddies and bracket accessories are present.

Works together
How the Dell PowerEdge R750xs connects to servers, storage and the network: 4 ways, with the parts and products on each path.
Fibre Channel SAN
Match the speed: 16Gb and 32Gb FC HBAs, switches and array ports work together, and each generation also runs one or two speeds below its own (a 32Gb port runs at 16Gb and 8Gb).

Optics
iSCSI and NVMe/TCP over Ethernet
Keep the speed the same at all three points: a 25GbE server, a 25GbE switch port and a 25GbE array port. Mixed speeds work but the slowest link sets the pace.

Direct-attached SAS
12Gb SAS uses Mini-SAS HD (SFF-8644) connectors; older 6Gb gear uses Mini-SAS (SFF-8088). Adapter cables exist, but the link runs at the slower speed.
