DELL PowerEdge R740 2U Rack Server Dual Xeon 6148 2.40 GHz 256GB 48TB SAS

Dell PowerEdge R740 2U server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built for virtualization, private cloud and high-performance computing. It ships with dual Xeon Gold 6148 processors, each offering 20 cores at 2.40 GHz with a 3.70 GHz turbo. The system includes 256 GB of DDR4 memory across eight 32 GB modules and a 48 TB SAS array using four 12 TB nearline drives. Windows Server 2022 Standard with a 16-core license is provided.

Suited for dense storage

This configuration suits organizations that need large-capacity SAS storage combined with high core counts for heavy multi-threaded applications. The PERC H730 RAID controller with 2 GB NV cache and redundant power supplies support continuous operation. Buyers who require all-flash speed or a different drive interface should evaluate other platforms. The included rail kit simplifies rack installation for data-centre deployment.

48 TB 12 Gb/s SAS storage array

The single specification that defines fit is the 48 TB enterprise nearline SAS array running at 12 Gb/s on 7.2 K RPM drives. This capacity and interface determine whether the server matches your storage throughput and density requirements. The PERC H730 controller manages RAID across the four 3.5-inch drives. Drives and memory upgrades ship separately and require installation before use.
