Dual-socket 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon Gold 5118 processors, each running at 2.3 GHz with 12 cores. It ships with 64 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across four 16 GB modules and a PERC H730P storage controller with 2 GB cache. Eight 2.5-inch drive trays support SAS and SATA drives, while a quad-port network daughter card provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections. Redundant 750 W platinum power supplies, iDRAC9 Enterprise, rails and a bezel complete the unit.

Suited for virtualisation and database workloads

This configuration fits organisations running virtualised environments, database clusters or compute-intensive applications that benefit from 24 total cores and ECC memory protection. The 24 DIMM slots allow expansion up to 3 TB of DDR4 for memory-heavy tasks. Buyers needing single-socket density, lower power draw, or GPU accelerator support should evaluate other platforms.

PERC H730P RAID controller with 2 GB cache

The installed PERC H730P handles RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode, backed by a battery to protect cached writes during power loss. It manages up to eight SAS or SATA drives in the front trays and provides 12 Gb/s SAS connectivity. Confirm the controller meets your storage redundancy and performance requirements before purchase.

Questions about this item

What does the 2.3 GHz base speed mean for sustained workloads on both Xeon Gold 5118 CPUs?

Each Xeon Gold 5118 runs at 2.3 GHz base frequency with 12 cores; together the two processors provide 24 cores operating at that speed for steady multi-threaded throughput.

How does the PERC H730P controller's 12 Gb/s SAS interface limit drive performance in the eight 2.5-inch bays?

The H730P delivers up to 12 Gb/s per SAS lane, so each installed SAS or SATA drive is capped at that interface bandwidth regardless of the drive's own rating.

What rack depth and rail clearance does the 2U chassis with ready rails require for installation?

The 2U rack-mount chassis includes Dell ready rails designed for standard four-post racks; allow sufficient depth for the chassis plus cable clearance at the rear.
