The Universal Backplane supports HW RAID for SAS/SATA with direct attach NVMe, and does not support HW RAID for NVMe.

Processor

Up to four 4th Generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors with up to 60 cores per processor and with optional Intel® QuickAssist Technology. The PEM will hold the 3^rd and 4^th CPU stacked on top of the first two processors. Along with the last 32 DIMMs for a total of 64 DDR5 RDIMMs.

When the PEM is installed, there are some rules and restrictions for the expansion risers. Please read the manuals below for more guidance when configuring this system's expansion kits.

Heatsink & Fans

Image of the PEM holding two l-type heat sinks.

The system supports 4 CPUs when the Processor Expansion Module (PEM) Board is installed. The System supports 2 Types of Heat Sinks based off the processor's TDP. The table below will help you understand which Heat Sink will be installed.

Heat sink	Processor TDP
STD HSK	≤ 185 W
L-type HSK	≥ 195 W

Image of the Fan cage of the R960 Dell Rack Server.

There is only 1 Type of Fan supported by the R960. This Fan is a stacked Fan system. With up to 6 sets of Standard (STD) fans (dual fan module). Each fan in the set is hot-swappable and sits in a fan cage that is lowered onto the fan tray.

All the Air shoruds will need to be installed unless you have GPUs and full length risers then you will need the GPU Air Shroud installed. If you have any blank PCI or DIMM slots, those will need to be filled with blanks / filler for optimal airflow.

Memory

Dell's PowerEdge R960 supports 64 DDR5 RDIMM slots, with 16TB max memory allowed at speeds up to 4800 MT/s. The Speeds downgrade to 4400Mhz when two DIMMs are installed per channel (DPC).

Supports registered ECC DDR5 DIMMs only and memory mixing is not supported.
Memory DIMM slots are not hot pluggable.
If memory modules with different speeds are installed, they operate at the speed of the slowest installed memory module(s).
For all the memory rules and restrictions, please read the manuals below.

NOTE: DDR4 memory DIMMs are not supported in the R960.

Expansion Slots

The PowerEdge R960 system supports up to 12 PCI express (PCIe) Gen5 slots (10 Full Height and 2 Low Profiles) on the system board. Up to 4 x 400 W DW. GPU air shroud is required, when GPUs are installed in the system.

Networking Adapters

Note: The system allows either LOM card or an OCP card or both to be installed in the system.

Image of the LOM Card in the Dell PowerEdge R960

LAN on Motherboard (LOM)

2 x 1 GbE LOM with BCM5720 LAN controller (optional).
This is a great way to expand the network of the R960 without using up a PCIe slot. If the LOM card is not installed you must install a blank filler for optimal airflow.

Image of the OCP 3.0 Card in the Dell PowerEdge R960

Open Compute Project (OCP) 3.0

1 x OCP card 3.0 (optional)
There are many options for the OCP card. They range from 1 GbE x 4, 10 GbE x 2, 10 GbE x 4, 25 GbE x 2, 25 GbE x 4, all the way to 100 GbE x 2. Please read the manual for more guidance on which cards are supported.

Storage Controllers

Dell RAID controller options offer performance improvements, including the fPERC solution. fPERC provides a base RAID HW controller without consuming a PCIe slot by using a small form factor and high-density connector to the base planar.
16G PERC Controller offerings are a heavy leverage of the 15G PERC family. The Value and Value Performance levels carry over to 16G from 15G. New to 16G is the Avenger-based Premium Performance tier offering. This high-end offering drives IOPs performance and enhanced SSD performance. (H965)

Since you have the ability to mix a lot of different types of drives. This system supports dual controllers in a few configurations. You may not mix drive type in the RAID volumes. You will need a separate RAID Controller for each set of drives. PowerEdge does not support Tri-Mode, the mixing of SAS, SATA, and NVMe behind the same controller.

Performance Level	Controller and Description
Entry	S160
Value	H355, HBA355 (internal/external)
Value Performance	H755
Premium Performance	H965i, H965e

GPU

The system holds up to 4x 400W Double-Wide with the Riser Expander (R3A) holding 2 of the Double-Wide GPUs.
Riser Configuration 3 (GPU) R1A+R2+R3A+R4A (FL) is the only configuration to support GPUs.
If a GPU is installed it will need the GPU air shroud. If any GPU slot is blank it needs to have the blank/fillerr installed for optimal airflow.
