Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 2U Server

The Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built around a single Intel Gold 6148 processor with 20 cores at 2.4 GHz. It ships with 32 GB of DDR4 memory in two 16 GB modules and two 120 GB SATA SSDs managed by an H730P RAID controller. This configuration targets businesses that need a dense compute platform for virtualisation, database or application workloads.

Verify rack space power and networking

Confirm that your rack can accommodate a 2U chassis with eight 2.5 inch drive bays and that you have redundant 1100 W power connections available. The network daughter card provides two 10 Gb RJ45 and two 1 Gb RJ45 ports so plan switch ports and cabling accordingly. Remote management uses iDRAC9 Enterprise which requires a dedicated management network segment for full out of band access.

Eight drive bays and eight PCIe Gen 3 slots

The server offers eight 2.5 inch bays so the two included SSDs leave six bays open for additional storage expansion. Up to eight PCIe Gen 3 slots are available for add in cards such as GPUs, extra NICs or storage controllers. The included rails and bezel simplify installation while the redundant power supplies free up budget that would otherwise go to separate UPS units for each node.

Questions about this item

Does the server ship with rails, power cords and a bezel, or must I order them separately?

The unit includes rails, power cords and a non-LCD bezel; no extra parts are required for basic rack mounting.

Should I select the single Gold 6148 20-core 2.4 GHz configuration or look for a dual-processor version?

This build has one Gold 6148 with 20 cores at 2.4 GHz and 27.5 MB cache; a second CPU can be added later if the workload demands it.

How does the 32 GB DDR4 2666 MHz memory perform in a live virtualization host?

Two 16 GB PC4-2666 modules give 32 GB total, running at 2666 MHz, which supports moderate VM density; additional DIMM slots are free for expansion.
