Dual Xeon 24-core 2U server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rackmount server system equipped with two Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors. Each CPU delivers 24 cores at 2.1 GHz with a 3.7 GHz turbo frequency. The platform includes 768 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across 24 DIMM slots. A PERC H730P 2 GB controller manages SAS and SATA drives with RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through modes.

Suited for multi-threaded workloads

This configuration serves environments that need high core counts and large memory capacity in a 2U form factor. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC 9 Enterprise provide redundant power and remote management. Buyers requiring GPU accelerator support, greater drive bay density or single-thread optimisation should evaluate alternative platforms.

PERC H730P RAID controller with battery-backed cache

The installed Dell PERC H730P 2 GB 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA controller includes a battery-backed cache module. It supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through for the eight 2.5-inch drive bays. Two 300 GB 10K SAS drives are fitted. This controller choice determines the RAID levels and drive protocols available for the primary storage array.

Questions about this item

What DDR4 memory speed and capacity are already installed in the R740?

The server ships with 768 GB of DDR4-2666 registered ECC memory across 24 slots, leaving room to expand up to 3 TB.

Can the existing PERC H730P controller manage the two 300 GB 10 K SAS drives in RAID while I add larger SAS or SATA drives later?

Yes, the H730P supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through, so you can keep the current drives and add more SAS or SATA devices.

How do I confirm the iDRAC 9 Enterprise remote management is active after the server powers on?

Connect the dedicated iDRAC network port, browse to its IP address and log in; the Enterprise licence will be shown on the dashboard.
