Dual Xeon Platinum 8160 Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors. Each CPU provides 24 cores running at a base frequency of 2.1 GHz. The system includes 64 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across four modules. It targets organisations that need dense compute capacity in a standard rack footprint.

PERC H730P With Eight 600 GB SAS Drives

Storage is handled by a Dell PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache. The chassis holds eight 2.5-inch enterprise SAS hard drives, each rated at 600 GB and 10K RPM. The controller supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. This configuration suits workloads that prioritise consistent throughput over maximum capacity.

Redundant 750 W Platinum Power Supplies

Two hot-swap 750-watt platinum-efficiency power supplies provide full redundancy. The server also includes an Intel X520/I350 daughter card delivering two 1 GbE and two 10 GbE SFP+ ports. Remote management is handled by iDRAC 9 Enterprise. Rails and a front bezel are included for immediate rack installation.

Questions about this item

How does the 2.1 GHz base clock with 3.7 GHz turbo translate when both Xeon 8160 CPUs are fully loaded in this 2U server?

The dual 24-core Platinum 8160 processors run at a 2.1 GHz base frequency and can reach 3.7 GHz turbo depending on thermal headroom and core count under load.

What throughput does the PERC H730P 12 Gb/s SAS controller actually deliver to the eight installed 600 GB 10K drives?

The H730P supports 12 Gb/s SAS links and RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60, so each 600 GB 10K drive can saturate its 12 Gb/s lane; aggregate throughput scales with the RAID level chosen.

What physical space and mounting hardware are required to install this 2U chassis?

The server occupies 2U of rack height, includes ready rails for square-hole or threaded cabinets, and ships with a front bezel for a clean finish.
