Dell PowerEdge T560
Dual-socket enterprise tower server.
Quick answer
Dell PowerEdge T560 is an enterprise-grade dual-socket tower server for branch offices and mid-size businesses without rack infrastructure. The platform delivers the same Intel Xeon Scalable processor class and RAS features as the rack-mount R760, with a quiet-operation kit option and a 5U rack-conversion kit for future migration.
Dell PowerEdge T560 brings R760-class performance to a tower form factor. The platform is ideal for branch offices, mid-size businesses and education customers who need enterprise-grade hardware but lack rack infrastructure.
A quiet-operation kit reduces noise to roughly 40 dB, making the server suitable for office deployments. A 5U rack-mount conversion kit enables future migration to a 19-inch cabinet as the customer's data-center footprint grows.

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently asked questions
Tower or rack — how do I choose?
Rack saves floor space and reduces noise in a cabinet, but requires rack infrastructure. Tower needs no rack but takes more floor space. T560 is convertible between the two with the 5U rack-mount kit.
Does it offer the same performance as R760?
Effectively yes — the same Intel Xeon Scalable processors and the same RAS feature set. Storage configuration tops out lower than the R760 24-bay backplane.
How quiet is the quiet-operation kit?
Approximately 40 dB — office-compatible. Standard fans are louder and better suited to a server room.
How does rack conversion work?
A 5U rack-mount kit enables installation in a standard 19-inch cabinet, providing future flexibility as the customer's data-center footprint grows.
Warranty?
Three years ProSupport standard with optional ProSupport Plus 24/7 4-hour SLA upgrade.
Memory and storage capacity?
16 DIMM slots populated with 256 GB RDIMMs reach 4 TB. Storage is 16 SFF (2.5-inch SAS/SATA/NVMe) or 8 LFF (3.5-inch for NAS-style capacity workloads).
