Dual-socket Xeon server for dense workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built around 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 across 24 slots. The platform targets virtualisation, database and high-performance computing tasks that demand high core counts and large memory capacity in a compact form factor.

24 DIMM slots and 3 TB maximum memory

The system provides 24 DDR4 memory slots and supports up to 3 TB of registered ECC memory. This ceiling determines whether the server can grow with future workload demands or if the installed 768 GB will remain the limit. Buyers planning larger in-memory datasets should verify that the slot count and maximum capacity match their scaling roadmap.

PERC H730P controller and quad-port networking

Storage is handled by a Dell PERC H730P 2 GB controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through modes, with two 800 GB SATA SSDs installed in the 2.5-inch drive bays. Network connectivity comes from an Intel X520/I350 daughter card delivering two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports. Dual redundant 750 W platinum power supplies, iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management, rails and bezel complete the package for immediate rack deployment.

Questions about this item

How much memory bandwidth does the 2666 MHz DDR4 actually deliver in this server?

The 24 installed 32 GB modules run at 2666 MHz DDR4 registered ECC, providing up to 2666 MT/s per channel across the 24 slots populated in this configuration.

What RAID levels can the PERC H730P controller handle with the two 800 GB SSDs?

The H730P 2 GB controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60, so the pair of 800 GB SATA SSDs can be arranged in any of those levels or used in pass-through mode.

How much rack space and what rails are needed to install this 2U chassis?

The server occupies 2U of rack height and ships with ready rails for tool-less mounting in a standard square-hole or round-hole cabinet.
