Dual-Socket 2U Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built around two Intel Xeon Gold 5118 processors, each with 12 cores at 2.3 GHz and a 3.2 GHz turbo frequency. It ships with 64 GB of DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC memory across four modules and eight 800 GB SATA SSDs managed by a PERC H730P RAID controller. The chassis includes redundant 750 W platinum power supplies, quad-port networking with two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports, iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management, plus rails and a front bezel.

Upgrade From Single-Socket Or HDD Systems

Moving from a single-socket server or a platform still running mechanical drives brings a jump to 24 total cores, hardware RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 with a 2 GB cache battery, and all-flash storage in the eight 2.5-inch bays. The step is worth it when workloads need parallel throughput, data redundancy and remote console access without adding external enclosures.

Check Memory Slots, Drive Bays And Network Cabling

Before ordering, verify that your rack can accept a 2U unit with front-to-rear airflow and that you have cabling for SFP+ transceivers if you plan to use the 10 GbE ports. The system has 24 DDR4 slots with 64 GB installed, so further memory expansion is possible up to the platform maximum. Ensure your PDU connectors match the dual 750 W supplies and that the operating environment meets the server's thermal requirements.

Questions about this item

What rails come with the R740 for rack mounting?

Ready Rails and a front bezel are included so the 2U chassis can be secured in a compatible rack.

How are the CPUs installed and what step is often missed?

Two Xeon Gold 5118 processors are pre-installed in the LGA 3647 sockets; the common oversight is not updating the system BIOS before adding memory or storage.

Which component will need battery replacement over time?

The PERC H730P 2GB controller includes a battery that backs the RAID cache and will require replacement when it reaches end of life.
