Dual-socket Xeon 8160 2U server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors running at 2.1GHz. Each CPU provides 24 cores to handle demanding workloads. The system ships with 64GB of DDR4 memory installed across four slots.

Suited for virtualisation and database workloads

This configuration suits environments that need high core density and fast SAS storage in a compact rack form factor. The eight 300GB 10K drives and PERC H730P controller support RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Buyers who need solid-state storage or larger drive capacities should look at alternative configurations.

64GB DDR4 starting memory

The server arrives with 64GB of DDR4 2666MHz registered ECC memory populated in four of the 24 available slots. Maximum supported capacity reaches 3TB when fully populated. This initial memory amount determines whether the platform meets immediate application requirements or requires additional modules at deployment.

Questions about this item

What does the 3.7 GHz turbo frequency mean for single-threaded workloads on the Xeon 8160?

The Xeon 8160 can boost individual cores up to 3.7 GHz, giving short bursts of higher single-thread speed while the base clock stays at 2.1 GHz across all 24 cores.

What throughput does the PERC H730P controller's 12 Gb/s SAS link actually allow?

The controller supports 12 Gb/s SAS lanes, so each drive can transfer at that rate; the eight installed 10K SAS drives share the backplane bandwidth provided by the H730P.

What rails and bezel are included for rack installation?

The server ships with Dell Ready Rails and a front bezel, allowing tool-less mounting in a compatible 2U rack space.
