DELL PowerEdge R740 8LFF 2x Xeon Gold 6148 32GB DDR4 rack server

Server System for Compute Workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R740 8LFF is a 2U rack server built for compute-intensive tasks. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 6148 processors running at 2.4GHz, each offering 10 cores and 27.5 MB cache. The system includes 32GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H730P RAID controller. No drives are installed, allowing custom storage configuration.

Suits Dense Storage Builds Not GPU Farms

This chassis supports up to eight 3.5-inch SATA drive bays, making it a fit for storage-heavy databases or backup targets. Buyers who need GPU acceleration or additional PCIe add-in cards should look elsewhere because the 8LFF front panel limits expansion slot availability. The integrated graphics handle basic management display only. Remote management runs through iDRAC9 with an Enterprise licence.

Dual 10-Core Xeon Gold 6148 Decides Fit

The two Xeon Gold 6148 CPUs deliver 20 total cores at 2.4GHz, which determines whether this server matches your thread-count and licensing requirements. Memory can scale to 3TB across 24 DDR4 slots when the workload grows. Dual 750W power supplies provide redundancy for the configured components.
