Hot-plug supplies for every configuration, from 8-bay base builds to GPU-loaded xd chassis.
R720 and R720xd servers share the same 12th-generation hot-plug supply bays, with 495W, 750W and 1100W options. The xd variant carries up to twice the drives, and a fully loaded 12-bay chassis plus dual processors is a very different load than a lightly built 8-bay R720, so match the replacement to the wattage already installed rather than guessing down. GPU configurations require the 1100W units. Both supplies in a redundant pair must be identical in wattage; the system reports a fault otherwise. Supplies swap hot without a shutdown. The Dell part number on the PSU label is the definitive identifier, and if you only have the service tag, our team will look up the factory configuration and match the part free.
They use the same bays and the same 12th-generation supply family. The difference is load: a 12-bay xd typically shipped with higher wattage than a light R720, so match the wattage installed in your chassis rather than assuming the models are configured alike.
Dell's GPU-enabled R720 configurations run the 1100W supplies as a matched pair. If you are retrofitting GPUs onto a lower-wattage pair, plan to replace both units.
Yes. iDRAC reports wattage and status for each supply, and a service tag lookup gives us the exact factory part. The label on the unit itself remains the definitive identifier.
