Built for virtualisation density
The Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 fits 20 cores at 2.4 GHz and 128 GB of DDR4 into a 2U chassis with eight 2.5-inch drive bays. One Intel Gold 6148 processor and eight 16 GB PC4-2666 modules give multi-tenant workloads a compact, balanced foundation.
Sustained throughput with room to grow
Dual 10 Gb and dual 1 Gb RJ45 ports from the Intel X550 NDC feed the H730P RAID controller while up to eight PCIe Gen 3 slots accept additional NICs or accelerators. Redundant 1100 W supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise keep the platform available during extended compute runs.
Verify rack depth and expansion plans
The 2U form factor demands a cabinet deep enough for the chassis and cable routing behind the bezel. Confirm that the single-processor configuration meets your licensing model and that the two 120 GB SATA RI SSDs cover the boot volume before adding further drives.

Questions sur cet article
How loud and hot does the dual 1100W redundant PSU setup run under constant load?
The server uses two 1100W redundant power supplies; fan speed scales with the Gold 6148 CPU and H730P controller load, so noise and heat rise with sustained 20-core utilisation.
Which rack, rails and power connections are required to install this 2U chassis?
The unit ships with sliding rails, a bezel and power cords; you supply a standard rack with 2U space and two PDU outlets for the dual PSUs.
Can the eight PCIe Gen 3 slots and Intel X550 10GbE ports work with older PCIe 2.0 cards and 1GbE switches?
The eight PCIe Gen 3 slots are backward compatible with PCIe 2.0 cards, and the Intel X550 10GbE RJ45 ports auto-negotiate down to 1GbE for legacy switches.
