Dell PowerEdge R7515 Technical Specifications

The Dell EMC PowerEdge R7515 is a versatile one rack unit server engineered by Dell EMC to deliver scalable compute performance for enterprise data centers. Built around a single AMD EPYC 7002 or EPYC 7003 series processor socket, this system supports up to sixteen DDR4 DIMM slots capable of handling memory configurations ranging from 8 GB to a maximum of 2 TB when utilizing 3DS LRDIMMs running at speeds up to 3200 MT/s. The R7515 accommodates a wide array of storage workloads through its flexible drive bays, which can house up to twelve 3.5-inch or twenty-four 2.5-inch SAS, SATA, or SSD drives. It also supports mixed configurations combining standard block storage with high-speed NVMe devices, alongside internal BOSS-S1 hardware RAID modules and multiple PERC or HBA controller cards for optimized data management.

To address demanding expansion requirements, the PowerEdge R7515 provides configurable PCIe Gen3 and Gen4 riser options in both low profile full height and 1U/2U form factors, allowing administrators to install up to four add-on network interface cards or compatible accelerators while strictly adhering to thermal guidelines. The server operates with highly efficient power supply units available in 750W, 1100W, and 1600W wattages across AC, DC, and HVDC variants, delivering Platinum and Titanium rated power delivery suited for modern facility infrastructures. Cooling is managed through mandatory six-fan arrays that can be configured as standard or high performance units depending on processor thermal design power and ambient conditions, ensuring stable operation within ASHRAE A2 and A3 environmental standards.

Management and security are centralized through Dell EMC iDRAC Direct capabilities accessed via an onboard micro USB port, complemented by an optional internal dual SD module for redundant OS deployment and firmware updates. The system ships with Matrox G200eR2 integrated graphics and dual VGA connectors, while officially supporting major enterprise operating systems including Windows Server, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, Canonical Ubuntu Server LTS, VMware ESXi/vSAN, and Citrix Xen Hypervisor. Buyers requiring a dense, highly configurable rack platform will find the Dell EMC PowerEdge R7515 well suited for virtualization hosts, database servers, and hybrid storage arrays that demand reliable processor scaling, extensive memory capacity, and robust thermal management without compromising on deployment flexibility or remote administration features.
