Dell PowerEdge R750 | 15th Gen 2U Rack Server
Dell PowerEdge R750 — 15th Generation 2U Rack Server
The Dell PowerEdge R750 is the workhorse 2U of Dell’s 15th-generation line, built on 3rd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable (Ice Lake) processors and designed for the broadest range of enterprise workloads — from virtualization and database to VDI and AI inference. ICD supplies R750 systems new, configured, and tested refurbished, with 50 to 70 percent savings versus new on the refurb line and warranty coverage extendable up to 10 years.

Workloads where the R750 excels
- Virtualization — VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V, Proxmox with 32 DIMMs and dense NVMe storage for high VM-per-host ratios.
- Databases — SQL Server, Oracle, PostgreSQL, MongoDB on 8TB memory with PCIe 4.0 NVMe for low-latency transactional workloads.
- VDI — Citrix Virtual Apps, VMware Horizon with 3 GPUs and high core counts for up to 200 concurrent knowledge-worker sessions.
- AI inference — NVIDIA T4 and A2 for model serving at scale with Redfish-integrated observability.
- Hyper-converged infrastructure — VMware vSAN, Nutanix, Azure Stack HCI with 24 NVMe bays for storage-dense HCI blocks.
- Cloud-native platforms — OpenShift, Rancher, Kubernetes bare-metal nodes with fast PCIe 4.0 interconnect.
ICD Tested Refurbished R750 — what you get
Every ICD-supplied R750 on the refurbished line is:
- Bench-tested under load with burn-in logs retained.
- Fully sanitized per NIST 800-88 — original drives are wiped or replaced under Data Shield policy.
- Refreshed with OEM-genuine replacement parts where component counts required replacement.
- Delivered with a 1-year ICD warranty minimum, extendable up to 10 years.
- Eligible for ICD Care+ TPM post-warranty maintenance at 40 to 60 percent below Dell ProSupport equivalent.
R750 parts and upgrades
For existing R750 or R650 fleets needing memory upgrades, storage expansion, CPU upgrades, RAID controller swaps, or NIC additions, see our dedicated parts page: Dell PowerEdge R750 and R650 Parts.
ICD supplies a deep range of R750-compatible parts including DDR4-3200 RDIMM and LRDIMM kits, Dell NVMe and SAS SSDs with caddies, 3rd Gen Xeon Scalable CPUs across Silver, Gold, and Platinum tiers, PERC H755 RAID controllers, NVIDIA GPUs including A2 and A16, and 800W/1100W/1400W/1800W Platinum PSUs. Cross-compatibility with R650 is preserved across memory and most I/O modules.
R750 vs R740 — when to upgrade
If your current R740 fleet is approaching 5 to 7 years of service, the R750 delivers meaningful gains: ~20 percent higher per-core performance on memory-bound workloads, PCIe 4.0 for NVMe and GPU throughput doubling, 8TB vs 3TB memory ceiling, and iDRAC9 Lifecycle Controller improvements. For refresh economics, ICD executes R740-to-R750 migration engagements through ICD Professional Services with typical ROI between 12 and 24 months on power-and-cooling savings plus consolidation ratios.
R750 end-of-life and long-term support
Dell ProSupport for R750 is available for the forward planning horizon. Platform EOSL tracking is published in our R750 EOSL page. After Dell extended support ends or at the first year of ProSupport price escalation, ICD Care+ TPM becomes economically compelling — typical savings are quoted per fleet for each R750 with SLA levels set per contract.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Dell PowerEdge R750?
The R750 is Dell's 15th generation 2U rack server built on 3rd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable (Ice Lake) processors. It supports up to 2 CPUs, 32 DDR4 DIMMs (8TB max), and 24 NVMe/SAS/SATA drives with PCIe 4.0 throughput.
How does the R750 compare to the R740?
The R750 upgrades from R740's Cascade Lake to Ice Lake Xeon Scalable 3rd Gen, doubles PCIe to 4.0, raises memory from 24 to 32 DIMMs, and supports up to 24 NVMe drives vs R740's hybrid config. Thermal envelope is improved for higher-TDP CPUs.
What is the price of a refurbished Dell R750?
Pricing varies by CPU, memory, storage, and GPU configuration. Contact ICD for a custom quote — ICD Tested Refurbished R750 servers typically save 50 to 70 percent versus new.
Does the R750 support GPUs?
Yes. The R750 supports up to 3 full-height double-width GPU accelerators including NVIDIA A2, A16, A30, A40, A100 and T4 variants with PCIe 4.0 x16 slots. Ideal for VDI, AI inference, and accelerated compute.
Is the Dell R750 still supported by Dell?
Yes. Dell OEM ProSupport remains available. For post-warranty or cost-optimization scenarios, ICD Care+ third-party maintenance delivers equivalent coverage at 40 to 60 percent lower cost. See /dell-tpm/ for Dell TPM details.
