Dual-socket Xeon server for dense compute

The Dell PowerEdge R740 fits two Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors, each running at 2.1 GHz with 24 cores, inside a 2U rack chassis. It ships with 256 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across eight 32 GB modules. The platform targets workloads that demand high core counts and large memory footprints in a compact rack footprint.

PCIe slots free for accelerators and storage

The system provides 24 DIMM slots supporting up to 3 TB, leaving room for future memory expansion. Eight 2.5-inch drive bays are populated with 300 GB 10 K SAS drives on a PERC H730P controller that supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. A quad-port network daughter card adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links, while iDRAC 9 Enterprise handles remote management.

Redundant platinum power sustains full load

Dual 750 W platinum-efficiency power supplies share the load and maintain operation if one unit fails. The hot-swap design allows replacement without downtime. Processor turbo reaches 3.7 GHz, but sustained all-core performance stays within the thermal envelope of the 2U chassis. Buyers needing GPU acceleration or more than eight drive bays should evaluate larger platforms.
