DELL PowerEdge R740 8LFF 2x Xeon Platinum 8268 32GB DDR4 Rack Server

Dual-socket Xeon Platinum 8268 server for dense

The Dell PowerEdge R740 chassis holds two Xeon Platinum 8268 processors at 2.9 GHz with 24 cores each and 32 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. A PERC H730P RAID controller and dual 750 W power supplies support up to eight 3.5-inch SATA drive bays. Integrated graphics and a 10 GbE 562T adapter handle display and network duties.

Virtualisation hosts needing maximum core count

Buyers who require GPU acceleration, additional drive bays beyond eight 3.5-inch SATA slots or higher installed memory out of the box should evaluate alternative platforms. The 32 GB configuration suits lighter consolidation workloads rather than memory-intensive databases.

PERC H730P RAID controller

The storage subsystem centres on the Dell PERC H730P controller managing up to eight 3.5-inch SATA drives. No drives are installed, so capacity and RAID level are chosen at deployment. Maximum memory scales to 3 TB when the workload demands it.
