PowerEdge R740 2U Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built for compute-intensive workloads. Dual Intel Xeon Gold 5118 processors deliver 24 cores at 2.30 GHz with 3.2 GHz turbo frequency. The system ships with 768 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots and includes a PERC H730P controller for SAS and SATA storage.

Suits virtualisation and database clusters.

This configuration fits environments that need high core counts, large memory capacity and redundant 750 W power supplies. The eight 2.5-inch drive bays support SAS and SATA drives through the H730P RAID controller. Organisations requiring multiple double-width accelerator cards or more than eight front-accessible drive slots should evaluate alternative chassis designs.

768 GB DDR4 memory capacity

The installed 768 GB of DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC memory occupies all 24 DIMM slots and can be expanded to a maximum of 3 TB when higher-capacity modules are sourced. This figure determines whether the server meets the memory footprint of the target workload before purchase.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 768 GB DDR4 configuration or add more memory later?

The system ships with 768 GB across 24 slots using 32 GB DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC modules; the board supports up to 3 TB so you can expand when workloads demand it.

What does the 2.3 GHz base clock with 3.2 GHz turbo mean for actual throughput?

Each Xeon Gold 5118 runs at 2.3 GHz base and can boost to 3.2 GHz, giving 24 cores total for parallel workloads while thermal headroom in the 2U chassis sustains higher clocks under load.

How does the PERC H730P 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA controller limit drive performance?

The H730P caps each drive at 12 Gb/s SAS or 6 Gb/s SATA, so SSD sequential reads top out near the controller ceiling while RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 overhead adds minor latency.
