Which AMD powered server supports dual CPU. 16G, and iDRAC Express?

The question requires identifying a server that is AMD-powered, supports dual CPUs, is a 16th Generation model, and includes iDRAC Express. The Dell PowerEdge R7625 is the only option that meets all these criteria. The "16G" in the question refers to the 16th Generation of PowerEdge servers. The R7625 model number decodes as follows: 'R' for Rack, '7' for the performance segment, '6' for the 16th generation, '2' for two sockets (dual CPU), and '5' for an AMD processor. It ships with iDRAC9, which is available in Express, Enterprise, and Datacenter license levels.

B. R7525: This is a 15th generation server, as indicated by the '5' in the model number (R7525), not a 16th generation model.

C. R960: This server uses Intel Xeon processors, not AMD, as indicated by the '0' at the end of the model number (R960).

D. R6615: This is a single-socket server, as indicated by the '1' in the model number (R6615), and therefore does not support dual CPUs.

1. Dell PowerEdge R7625 Technical Guide:

Section 3.1

Processor: "The PowerEdge R7625 supports up to two 4th Generation AMD EPYC processors". This confirms it is a dual-socket

AMD-powered server.

Section 1

Introduction: The document title and content identify the R7625 as a 16th generation server.

Section 3.10

Systems Management: "The R7625 supports iDRAC9 with Lifecycle Controller... iDRAC is available in four license levels: Basic

Express

Enterprise

and Datacenter." This confirms iDRAC Express support.

2. Dell PowerEdge Naming Convention Documentation:

The naming convention for 14th generation and newer servers is explained in official Dell documentation. For a model like Rxyz

'x' denotes the class (1-9)

'y' denotes the generation (e.g.

6 for 16th Gen)

and 'z' denotes the number of sockets. The final digit indicates the CPU vendor (0 for Intel

5 for AMD). This convention confirms the R7625 is 16th Gen

R7525 is 15th Gen

R6615 is single-socket

and R960 is Intel-based.

3. Dell PowerEdge R960 Technical Guide:

Section 3.1

Processor: "The PowerEdge R960 supports up to four 4th Generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors". This confirms it is an Intel-based server.

4. Dell PowerEdge R6615 Technical Guide:

Section 3.1

Processor: "The PowerEdge R6615 supports one 4th Generation AMD EPYC processor". This confirms it is a single-socket server.
