Dual-socket Xeon Gold server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon Gold 6142 processors, each running at 2.6 GHz with 16 cores. It includes 128 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 8 modules and a Dell PERC H730P 2 GB storage controller. Eight 800 GB SATA SSDs provide high-speed local storage in the 2.5-inch drive bays.

Suited for virtualisation and databases.

This configuration fits organisations running virtualisation clusters, database workloads or mixed enterprise applications that benefit from high core counts and redundant 750 W power supplies. The integrated X520/I350 network daughter card adds dual 10 Gb SFP+ and dual 1 GbE ports. Buyers who need GPU acceleration for AI training or single-threaded performance beyond the 3.7 GHz turbo frequency should evaluate alternative platforms.

3 TB maximum DDR4 capacity

The Intel C620 chipset supports up to 3 TB of DDR4 memory across 24 DIMM slots, allowing significant future expansion beyond the installed 128 GB. The LGA 3647 socket design limits the system to two processors, so compute scaling stops at the current dual-socket layout. This memory ceiling is the key specification when planning long-term capacity growth.

Questions about this item

Will the 2.6 GHz Xeon Gold 6142 CPUs and DDR4 2666 MHz memory work with my existing LGA 3647 motherboard and DDR4 DIMMs?

The server uses two LGA 3647 sockets populated with Xeon Gold 6142 2.6 GHz 16-core processors and 128 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across 24 slots; your board must support the same socket and memory type to be compatible.

How can I verify the PERC H730P controller and the eight 800 GB SATA SSDs are operating correctly after installation?

Use the iDRAC 9 Enterprise interface or boot into the PERC H730P BIOS utility to confirm the controller detects all eight 800 GB SATA SSDs, shows the desired RAID level (0/1/5/6/10/50/60 or pass-through) and reports healthy battery-backed cache status.

Which components are included in the shipment and what must I purchase separately?

The unit ships with the 2U chassis, bezel, ready rails, two 750 W redundant power supplies, two Xeon Gold 6142 CPUs, 128 GB DDR4 memory, PERC H730P controller, eight 800 GB SATA SSDs, X520/I350 quad-port network card and iDRAC 9 Enterprise; you will need to add an operating system licence and any additional drives or expansion cards.
