Drive bay configuration
This Dell PowerEdge R770 barebone server provides 16 front-accessible 2.5-inch drive bays plus 8 dedicated NVMe bays. The chassis arrives without any CPUs, memory modules, storage drives, expansion cards or power supplies installed. System integrators receive a blank platform ready for component-level customization. The LGA 3647 socket supports a wide choice of compatible processors.
Build flexibility and gaps
Suited for teams that want full control over CPU selection, memory capacity, storage mix and add-in cards. Not suitable for buyers who need a complete, ready-to-run system or who prefer a pre-validated configuration with factory-installed parts. The barebone approach also means internal cabling, cooling and power distribution must be planned and sourced separately. Deployment time will be longer than with a populated server.
LGA 3647 processor socket
The single decisive specification is the LGA 3647 socket, which dictates every compatible CPU generation and core-count option. Processor choice then determines supported memory channels, maximum thermal design power and available PCIe lanes for the NVMe bays and expansion slots. Verify the exact processor model against Dell's qualified vendor list before purchase. No other component will fit this socket.

Questions about this item
What CPU socket does the R770 barebone require so I can buy matching processors?
The chassis uses the LGA 3647 socket; select processors designed for that socket and install a heatsink on every populated socket.
Will my existing 2.5-inch drives fit the 16 front bays alongside the 8 NVME slots?
Yes, the 16 front bays accept standard 2.5-inch drives while the 8 NVME bays operate independently for high-speed devices.
How can I verify the R770 posts correctly after I install CPUs, memory and power supplies?
Connect a monitor and keyboard, power on, and watch for the BIOS POST screen showing detected CPU sockets, memory capacity and drive controllers.
