2U dual-Xeon rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack 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 modules and a Dell PERC H730P 2 GB storage controller with battery-backed cache. Eight 400 GB SATA SSDs fill the front 2.5-inch drive bays, and dual 750 W platinum power supplies provide redundancy.

Suited for virtualisation and database workloads

This configuration suits environments that need two-socket compute density, hardware RAID across eight SATA SSDs and out-of-band management via iDRAC 9 Enterprise. The quad-port network daughter card adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links for flexible connectivity. Buyers who require more than 24 DIMM slots, more than two processors or storage interfaces other than SATA and SAS should consider alternative platforms.

Eight 400 GB SATA SSDs define the storage baseline

The eight installed 400 GB SATA solid-state drives set the usable capacity and performance floor for this server. The PERC H730P controller supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 as well as pass-through mode, so the array can be tuned for redundancy or throughput. If the application demands larger or faster volumes, the drive set must be replaced or supplemented.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box and what must I purchase separately?

The server ships with two Xeon Gold 5118 processors, 64 GB DDR4 in four 16 GB modules, eight 400 GB SATA SSDs, a PERC H730P controller with battery, a quad-port X520/I350 network card, iDRAC9 Enterprise, two 750 W platinum power supplies, rails and a front bezel. Extra drives or memory are not included.

Which memory configuration should I choose for this server?

The system has 24 DDR4 slots and currently holds four 16 GB registered ECC modules at 2400 MHz. You can add identical 16 GB sticks in matched sets to reach the 3 TB maximum.

What does the 2.3 GHz base clock mean for real workloads?

Each Xeon Gold 5118 runs at 2.3 GHz base and can turbo to 3.2 GHz on all 12 cores, giving 24 cores total for multi-threaded applications such as virtualization or databases.
