Dual-socket 2U rack server

This Dell PowerEdge R740 delivers a two-socket Intel Xeon platform in a 2U form factor. Two Gold 6142 processors provide 32 total cores at 2.6 GHz with 3.7 GHz turbo. The system ships with 512 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 16 slots.

Compute-dense virtualization and database workloads

The configuration suits environments that need high core counts and large memory capacity in a compact rack footprint. Buyers who require more than two processor sockets or additional drive bays beyond the eight 2.5-inch slots should evaluate alternative platforms.

PERC H730P storage controller with 2 GB cache

The integrated Dell PERC H730P supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. Two 800 GB SATA SSDs are installed, and the controller manages up to eight drives through 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA connectivity.

Questions about this item

How do I install the server in a rack, and what step is commonly missed?

Mount the included Ready Rails into a 2U space, slide the chassis onto them and secure the front bezel; the step often missed is locking the rail latches fully before adding the heavy 750 W power supplies.

What maintenance or replacement will the storage controller need later?

The PERC H730P has a 2 GB cache backed by a battery; plan to replace that battery when the iDRAC 9 Enterprise logs a cache-battery degradation alert.

What thermal limit appears first under sustained full-load on both Xeon Gold 6142 CPUs?

The dual 750 W Platinum PSUs share the load; if inlet air exceeds design temperature the iDRAC 9 will throttle the 2.6 GHz cores toward 2.6 GHz base to protect the 512 GB DDR4 and SSDs.
