Dual Xeon Platinum 8160 2U Server

The DELL PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors, each running at 2.1 GHz with 24 cores. It ships with 768 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory installed across 24 slots and includes a Dell PERC H730P 2 GB RAID controller. Two 400 GB SATA SSDs provide boot and application storage. Redundant 750 W platinum power supplies, iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management, quad-port networking with 2× 1 GbE and 2× 10 Gb SFP+, rails and bezel complete the package.

Ideal for Dense Virtualisation

This configuration suits environments that need high core counts and large memory capacity in a compact 2U form factor, such as virtualisation clusters, in-memory databases or high-performance computing nodes. The dual-socket limit of two processors and the eight 2.5-inch drive bays restrict expansion for workloads that demand more sockets or significantly more local storage bays.

PERC H730P RAID Controller with 2 GB Cache

The storage subsystem centres on the Dell PERC H730P controller with 2 GB of battery-backed cache, supporting RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. This controller determines the RAID options and performance ceiling for the installed SATA SSDs and any additional SAS or SATA drives added to the eight-bay chassis.
