DELL PowerEdge R740 2U Rack Server 2x Xeon Silver 4116 2.1GHz 12 Core 768GB DDR4 2x 400GB SSD H730P

Dell PowerEdge R740 2U Server

This Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built for virtualisation, database and high-performance computing workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Silver 4116 processors running at 2.10 GHz, each providing 12 cores for a total of 24 threads. The system includes 768 GB of DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC memory across 24 DIMM slots, with a maximum capacity of 3 TB. A PERC H730P 2 GB controller manages storage with RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 support.

Suited for dual-socket density and memory capacity

Organisations needing a balanced 2-socket platform with large memory footprints and hardware RAID will find this configuration effective. The eight 2.5-inch drive bays, dual 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management support dense, resilient deployments. Buyers who require more than two processor sockets, GPU accelerator slots or a different drive interface should evaluate other platforms.

768 GB DDR4 registered ECC memory installed

The single specification that decides fit is the 768 GB of DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC memory already populated in all 24 slots. This determines immediate capacity for virtual machines or in-memory databases and defines the upgrade path to the 3 TB maximum. Confirm that your workload matches this memory configuration before purchase.
