Purpose-built rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server designed for workloads that benefit from dual-socket compute density and internal storage expandability. It suits virtualisation hosts, database nodes and middleware tiers that need many cores and large memory in a standard rack footprint. Buyers who need a tower chassis, a single-socket platform or GPU-dense configurations should look elsewhere.

Dual Xeon Gold 5118 core count

Two Intel Xeon Gold 5118 processors provide 24 physical cores running at 2.3 GHz with a 3.2 GHz turbo frequency. The LGA 3647 sockets are fully populated, so no further CPU upgrades are possible. This core count is the decisive figure for licensing, thread capacity and parallel throughput planning.

Redundant 750 W platinum supplies

Dual hot-swap 750 W platinum power supplies share the load and maintain operation if one unit fails. The system draws power for 24 DDR4 DIMMs, two CPUs, storage controller, network daughter card and eight drive bays. Acoustic output will reflect a 2U rack chassis with multiple high-speed fans under typical data-centre inlet temperatures.

Questions about this item

How does the dual Xeon Gold 5118 configuration perform in a live 2U rack server?

Two Xeon Gold 5118 processors deliver 24 cores at 2.3 GHz with 3.2 GHz turbo, giving 768 GB of DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC memory across 24 slots for compute-intensive workloads.

What does the 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA PERC H730P controller cap in practice?

The H730P 2 GB controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through at 12 Gb/s SAS and 6 Gb/s SATA, limited by the installed 400 GB SATA SSDs and eight 2.5-inch drive bays.

What physical space and rails are needed to mount this 2U server?

The unit is a 2U rack chassis that ships with Ready Rails and a front bezel for standard 4-post rack mounting.
