Rack Server for Compute-Intensive Workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built for environments that demand high core counts and large memory capacity. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 6142 processors, each offering 16 cores at 2.6 GHz with a 3.7 GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 128 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across 24 slots, supporting up to 3 TB total. It targets virtualization, database, and high-performance computing deployments.

Sustained Performance With Redundant Power

Dual 750 W platinum-efficiency power supplies provide redundancy for continuous operation under heavy load. The Intel C620 chipset and LGA 3647 sockets support the installed 16-core CPUs at their rated speeds without throttling. The PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache manages RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60 across SAS and SATA drives. Network connectivity uses an Intel X520/I350 quad-port card delivering two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links. iDRAC 9 Enterprise enables remote monitoring and management during extended runtimes.

Verify Drive Count and Memory Expansion

The chassis provides eight 2.5-inch hot-swap trays for SAS or SATA drives; no drives are included, so confirm the quantity and type your workload requires. Memory uses DDR4 registered ECC modules only; other generations will not fit. The server occupies 2U of rack space and includes ready rails and a front bezel. Ensure your rack depth, power distribution, and cooling can support a dual-processor 2U platform with redundant 750 W supplies.

Questions about this item

How much heat and power do the dual Xeon Gold 6142 processors and two 750 W PSUs produce under continuous load?

The two Xeon Gold 6142 CPUs run at 2.6 GHz base with 3.7 GHz turbo across 16 cores each, and the redundant 750 W platinum power supplies deliver up to 750 W each to sustain full utilisation.

Which drives and caddies must I supply to populate the eight 2.5-inch bays?

The chassis includes eight 2.5-inch SAS/SATA trays but no drives; you provide 2.5-inch SAS or SATA HDDs or SSDs that fit those trays.

Will my existing DDR4-2666 registered ECC modules work alongside the installed 128 GB kit?

The system has 24 DDR4 slots with 128 GB already installed as eight 16 GB registered ECC modules at 2666 MHz; matching DDR4 registered ECC sticks can fill the remaining slots up to 3 TB total.
