Dell PowerEdge R740 2U Server

This Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built for compute-intensive workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors, each running at 2.1 GHz with 24 cores. The system includes 512 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across 16 modules. A PERC H730P 2 GB storage controller and two 400 GB SATA SSDs complete the core configuration.

Suited for virtualisation hosts and database nodes

The dual-socket design and high core count suit virtualisation hosts, database nodes and applications that scale across many threads. Redundant 750 W platinum power supplies and hot-swap drive bays support continuous operation. Organisations needing more than two processors or more than 24 memory slots will need a different platform, as this model maxes out at two CPUs and 24 DIMM positions.

24 DIMM slots define maximum memory expansion

The motherboard provides 24 DDR4 DIMM slots with a 3 TB ceiling. With 512 GB already installed in 16 slots, eight slots remain for future upgrades. Buyers planning larger memory footprints must verify that the remaining slot count and the 3 TB limit meet their growth targets before committing.

Questions about this item

How do I install the Dell PERC H730P controller and what step is often missed?

Seat the PERC H730P in the dedicated internal slot, connect the SAS cables to the backplane, then configure the RAID array in the controller BIOS before installing the OS.

What maintenance will the 400 GB SATA SSDs and the PERC H730P battery require later?

Monitor SSD wear via iDRAC9 and replace drives when SMART indicates end of life; the PERC H730P battery typically needs replacement every 3 to 5 years to preserve write-back cache.

What limit appears first under sustained load with the 750 W PSUs and 2.1 GHz Xeons?

The 750 W redundant power supplies set the ceiling; continuous full CPU turbo at 3.7 GHz across 24 cores per socket can exceed available power headroom before thermal limits are reached.
