2U Rack Server with 20-Core Processor

The Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built around a single Intel Gold 6148 processor running at 2.4 GHz with 20 cores and 27.5 MB cache. It includes 32 GB of DDR4 memory in a two-module configuration and two 480 GB SATA SSDs managed by an H730P RAID controller. The chassis provides eight 2.5-inch drive bays for additional storage expansion. Remote management is handled by iDRAC9 Enterprise and the unit ships with redundant 1100 W power supplies rails and power cords.

Ideal for Virtualisation and Database Workloads

This server suits organisations that need a dense 2U platform for virtualisation database or high-performance computing tasks using the 20-core processor and hardware RAID. The eight PCIe Gen 3 slots allow GPU or high-speed networking add-in cards for specialised workloads. Buyers who require dual-socket performance or more than 32 GB of memory out of the box should consider other configurations. The lack of an optical drive and the fixed 10 GbE and 1 GbE network ports may limit some legacy installation scenarios.

Single Gold 6148 Processor Configuration

The defining specification is the single Intel Gold 6148 20-core processor which sets the compute ceiling for this unit. With one CPU installed the memory capacity and PCIe lane count are halved compared to a dual-socket build. Verify that your workload fits within 32 GB of DDR4 and the available PCIe Gen 3 slots before purchase.

Questions about this item

Should I add more 480GB SATA SSDs or larger drives to the remaining 2.5" bays?

The chassis has 8x 2.5" bays total; two are filled with 480GB SATA SSDs, leaving six bays open for additional SATA SSDs or HDDs supported by the H730P controller.

How does the 2.4GHz 20-core Gold 6148 perform in multi-threaded workloads?

With 20 cores at 2.4GHz and 27.5M cache, the Gold 6148 delivers strong parallel throughput for virtualization, databases and compute clusters running on the installed 32GB DDR4.

What bandwidth does the Intel X550 10Gb RJ45 provide for storage traffic?

The dual 10Gb RJ45 ports on the Intel X550 NDC give up to 10Gbps per port for iSCSI or NFS storage traffic, while the two 1Gb ports handle management.
