Dell Server R7615 and the new RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell Server Edition 300W
Hello Dell Engineering Team and Community,
I’m currently assessing the feasibility of deploying the NVIDIA RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell Server Edition (300W TDP) in a Dell PowerEdge R7615 chassis.
While this GPU does not yet appear in the official Dell configurator for the R7615, I’ve reviewed the hardware specifications and found that the server supports:
• FHFL dual-slot PCIe Gen5 x16 GPUs
• Up to 350W TDP per slot
• 2400W PSU options
• Adequate airflow and riser configurations for passive-cooled GPUs
Given that the RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell Server Edition matches these parameters—form factor, power draw, PCIe lane width, and cooling profile—can you confirm whether this GPU is technically compatible with the R7615?
Is it possible that the configurator has not yet been updated to reflect support for this newly released SKU? Or is there a BIOS-level whitelist policy or segmentation strategy that would prevent this GPU from being recognized or utilized in the R7615 platform?
Any insights from Dell engineers or others who have explored this deployment path would be greatly appreciated.
Best regards,
Firman

Hello,
Since Dell has not Validated it for the R7615 I cannot confirm it will work. It may work if you want to try it. The specs seem ok. Follow the GPU specifications. You may need other components that would be in a GPU kit if it were a validated GPU. It would have components like: shroud, fans, heat sink…
GPU specifications Page 36
The PowerEdge R7615 system supports up to three 300 W double-width GPUs or six 75 W single-width GPUs.
GPU kit Page 298-300. Be sure to review the warnings and cautions.

Make sure system firmware is up to date, BIOS and iDRAC
