Which general-purpose rack workloads is the R4900 G5 intended for?

The document positions it as a 2U dual-socket general-purpose rack server and lists virtualization, database analytics, ERP and VDI. This is workload positioning, not a promise of a particular virtual-machine count or database throughput. Size the CPU, memory and storage against the real workload.

Should data drives and boot devices be checked separately when expanding an R4900 G5?

Yes. The brochure distinguishes 2.5-inch, 3.5-inch and NVMe drive configurations, plus SATA/PCIe M.2 boot options. Check the existing chassis, backplane and controller before choosing interfaces, quantities and the boot arrangement. Matching capacity alone does not establish installation compatibility.
