Dell PowerEdge R740 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon Gold 6148 processors running at 2.4 GHz with 20 cores each. It ships with 768 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across 24 slots. The system includes a PERC H730P storage controller with 2 GB cache, eight 2.5-inch drive trays, and redundant 750 W power supplies.

Dual-socket platform for virtualisation

This server suits organisations running virtualisation clusters, large databases, or compute-intensive applications that benefit from 40 total cores and high memory capacity. The eight drive bays and 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA controller support substantial local storage arrays. Buyers needing GPU acceleration or more than two processor sockets should consider alternative platforms.

768 GB DDR4 registered ECC memory in 24 slots

The installed 768 GB DDR4 configuration occupies all 24 DIMM slots with 32 GB modules, leaving no room for expansion without replacing existing memory. Maximum supported capacity is 3 TB, but achieving that requires higher-density modules not included here. Verify application memory requirements against this fixed starting point before purchase.
