Dual-socket 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack-mount server built around two Intel Xeon Gold 5118 processors, each running at 2.3 GHz with 12 cores. It ships with 64 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across four 16 GB modules. The platform targets virtualisation hosts, database nodes and compute-intensive workloads that benefit from 24 total cores and large memory capacity.

Hot-swap bays and redundant power

Eight 2.5-inch drive bays support hot-swap SATA and SAS drives through a PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache and battery-backed write cache. Two 400 GB SATA SSDs are installed. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies provide full redundancy. A quad-port network daughter card adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections. iDRAC9 Enterprise enables remote management. Ready Rails and a front bezel are included for rack installation.

Verify rack depth and memory expansion

Confirm the rack enclosure can accommodate a 2U chassis with sliding rails and that power distribution units deliver sufficient 750 W redundant feeds. The system has 24 DDR4 slots with a 3 TB maximum; plan additional registered ECC modules if workloads exceed the factory 64 GB. Ensure switch ports support SFP+ transceivers for the 10 Gb links and that the PERC H730P RAID level matches your redundancy requirements.
