Dell PowerEdge R740 2U Server
The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built for virtualisation and database workloads. It ships with one Intel Gold 6148 processor, 20 cores at 2.4 GHz, and 128 GB DDR4 memory across eight 16 GB modules. Dual 960 GB SAS SSDs and an H730P RAID controller provide the initial storage foundation.
Installation and Common Issues
The chassis includes sliding rails and redundant 1100 W power supplies for straightforward rack mounting. Eight 2.5 inch drive bays allow hot-swap expansion without tools. Firmware is pre-updated, but administrators should verify iDRAC9 Enterprise licensing matches their management platform before deployment.
Single-Deciding Specification
One Intel Gold 6148 CPU delivers 20 cores and 27.5 MB cache, setting the compute ceiling for this configuration. Memory capacity is fixed at 128 GB unless additional DDR4 modules are purchased separately. Buyers needing dual-socket performance or more than eight drive bays should evaluate larger platforms.

Questions sur cet article
How do I verify the Gold 6148 CPU and 128GB DDR4 are recognised after first boot?
Open iDRAC9 Enterprise remote console during POST and confirm the 20C processor at 2.4GHz with 27.5M cache and eight 16GB PC4-2666 modules appear in the system inventory.
Which items ship with the server and which must be sourced separately?
The 2U chassis, bezel without LCD, rails, redundant 1100W PSUs, power cords, one Gold 6148 CPU, 128GB DDR4, two 960GB SAS SSDs and H730P controller are included; additional drives or PCIe cards are not.
Should I choose this single-CPU 128GB configuration or a dual-CPU model for heavier workloads?
This unit has one Gold 6148 20C processor and 128GB DDR4; a dual-CPU version would add a second 20C CPU and double memory capacity for higher parallel throughput.
