The PowerEdge R750XS does not have a specific GPU enablement kit, and there is no documented support for GPU configurations. For detailed information, refer to the technical guide provided by the manufacturer. [community thread]
This is almost always a seating issue — power down, remove the processor and heatsink, then reinstall and torque all four corner screws evenly. If it still isn't detected in iDRAC, update BIOS/iDRAC firmware and run the Lifecycle Controller's repurpose option so the CPLD re-registers the second socket. [community thread]
The standard R750 GPU power kit ships with 12-pin to 8-pin and 12-pin to dual 6+2 cables, which don't fit 16-pin cards. Dell offers several GPU installation kits for the R750 keyed to the specific GPU model, so the right kit part number depends on which card you're installing — check the kit matched to your GPU before ordering. [community thread]
Start by reviewing the Lifecycle Controller logs (F10 at boot) for details on the warning, confirm System BIOS and iDRAC are current, and reseat the card — slot position and auxiliary power connections matter for the M10. If the warning persists after a reseat and firmware update, the card itself may need swapping to isolate hardware vs. configuration. [community thread]
The Micron 7500 U.3 NVMe disks are not compatible with Dell R750 servers, which only support U.2 drives. Therefore, there is no firmware available for U.3 disks on this server model, and users should consult Micron for further assistance. [community thread]
To delete UEFI boot entries, access the UEFI Boot Manager by pressing <F11> during startup. From there, you can select the option to delete existing boot options. [community thread]
To convert an R750 into a vSAN ESA ReadyNode, it is recommended to use an HBA355. However, be aware that changes to the storage configuration after purchase are not supported, and there are no kits available for modifications. [community thread]
To resolve installation failures, first ensure that both iDRAC and BIOS are updated to the latest versions. For better results, try installing on a single host before scaling up, and consider using a dedicated HTTP server for ISO delivery instead of co-hosting with NFS. As a temporary solution, using PXE/iPXE or local media for installations may help avoid issues during batch provisioning. [community thread]
