PowerEdge R740 2U dual-socket server

This Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack-mounted server system with two Intel Xeon Gold 5118 processors running at 2.30 GHz, each providing twelve cores. It ships with 768 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across twenty-four slots and includes a PERC H730P RAID controller with 2 GB cache. Eight 300 GB 10 K SAS drives occupy the 2.5-inch bays, and dual 750 W redundant power supplies are fitted.

Suits virtualisation hosts needing dense CPU cores

The configuration delivers twenty-four total cores and 768 GB of DDR4, supporting memory expansion up to 3 TB across the twenty-four DIMM slots. The quad-port network daughter card provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections, while iDRAC9 Enterprise enables full remote management. Buyers who require solid-state storage tiers, GPU accelerator slots or more than eight drive bays should evaluate other platforms.

768 GB DDR4 registered ECC memory installed

The system arrives with twenty-four 32 GB DDR4 2400 MHz modules filling every slot, giving immediate 768 GB capacity with room to grow to the 3 TB maximum. This memory population determines whether the server meets a workload's RAM requirements without additional purchases.
