Dual-socket Xeon Platinum 8160 platform

This 2U rack server ships with two Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors, each running at 2.1 GHz with 24 cores and a 3.7 GHz turbo frequency. The 64 GB DDR4 2666 MHz ECC memory is populated across four 16 GB modules, leaving 20 open slots for expansion up to the 3 TB maximum. It targets organisations that need high core density and large memory capacity in a standard 2U form factor.

Verify rack space, power and network needs

Confirm the cabinet can accept a 2U chassis and that rails are compatible with your rack depth. Two redundant 750 W platinum power supplies require matching PDU connectors and circuits. The installed X520/I350 daughter card provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports, so ensure your top-of-rack switches have the corresponding transceivers and cabling.

Sustained load behaviour

The PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 for continuous write-heavy workloads. Eight 1.2 TB 10K SAS drives deliver consistent throughput for databases and virtualisation, while the dual 750 W supplies maintain uptime during prolonged peak demand. iDRAC 9 Enterprise enables remote monitoring and firmware updates without host downtime.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box and what must I add?

The server ships with dual Xeon 8160 CPUs, 64 GB DDR4 in four 16 GB modules, eight 1.2 TB SAS drives, H730P RAID controller, X520/I350 quad-port network card, iDRAC9 Enterprise, redundant 750 W PSUs, bezel and rails. Extra memory or drives are optional.

Which memory configuration should I pick for this R740?

The system arrives with four 16 GB DDR4 2666 MHz RDIMMs installed across 24 slots. Add identical 16 GB DDR4 2666 MHz RDIMMs to expand toward the 3 TB maximum.

How does the 2.1 GHz base clock behave under load?

Each Xeon 8160 runs at 2.1 GHz base and can turbo to 3.7 GHz depending on core count, temperature and power limits. Sustained speeds vary with workload and cooling.
