DELL PowerEdge R740 2U 8-Bay 2.5" Rack Server 2x Xeon Gold 6148 2.4GHz 20-Core 64GB DDR4 H730P 8x 2.4TB SAS

Dell PowerEdge R740 2U Rack Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built for compute-intensive workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 6148 processors, each running at 2.4 GHz with 20 cores and a 3.7 GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 64 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across four 16 GB modules and a PERC H730P RAID controller with 2 GB cache. Eight 2.4 TB 10K SAS drives provide high-capacity storage in the 2.5-inch drive bays.

Dual-socket Xeon platform for virtualisation

This configuration suits environments that need high core counts and redundant power in a 2U form factor. The dual 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management support continuous operation. Buyers who need more than 24 DIMM slots, a different drive interface or a higher single-thread clock speed should evaluate alternative platforms. The maximum memory capacity of 3 TB allows future expansion within the existing chassis.

2.4 GHz 20-core Xeon Gold 6148 processors

The installed CPUs deliver 40 total cores at a base frequency of 2.4 GHz, defining the server's parallel processing capability. Turbo Boost reaches 3.7 GHz for burst performance on lighter threads. This clock speed and core count determine whether the system matches the licensing and throughput requirements of the target application. Memory runs at 2666 MHz DDR4 across 24 available slots.
