Dual-socket Xeon server for compute density

The PowerEdge R740 packs two Xeon Gold 5118 processors, each with 12 cores at 2.3 GHz and a 3.2 GHz turbo, into a 2U rack form factor. It targets workloads that need high thread counts and large memory capacity in a compact chassis.

768 GB DDR4 with room to 3 TB

Twenty-four 32 GB DDR4 modules fill every slot, delivering 768 GB of registered ECC memory today. The platform supports up to 3 TB, so memory-heavy databases or virtualisation clusters can grow without a chassis change.

Redundant 750 W platinum supplies and iDRAC9

Dual hot-swap 750 W platinum power supplies keep the system running through a single-unit failure. The integrated iDRAC9 Enterprise controller provides remote management, monitoring and firmware updates over a dedicated network interface.

Questions about this item

Can the dual Xeon Gold 5118 CPUs and 768GB DDR4 ECC memory still run my existing SATA SSD workloads on the PERC H730P controller?

Yes, the PERC H730P 2GB controller supports SAS and SATA drives and offers RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 plus pass-through, so your current SATA SSD volumes can be migrated or recreated without changing the storage stack.

How do I verify the iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management and quad-port 1GbE/10Gb SFP+ networking are active after the server posts?

During boot, watch for the iDRAC9 firmware initialisation message and press the designated key to enter its configuration; once an IP is set, log in via browser to confirm the X520/I350 daughter card shows two 1GbE and two 10Gb SFP+ links up.

Which components ship installed in the 2U chassis and what must I source separately to begin deployment?

The unit arrives with 2x Xeon Gold 5118 processors, 24x 32GB DDR4 modules totalling 768GB, PERC H730P with battery, 8x 800GB SATA SSDs, X520/I350 quad-port card, iDRAC9 Enterprise, 2x 750W platinum PSUs, bezel and ReadyRails; only OS licences and any extra drives or GPU cards need separate purchase.
