Dual 12-core Xeon 5118 2U server

This Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built for compute-dense workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 5118 processors running at 2.30 GHz with 3.2 GHz turbo, each providing 12 cores. The system includes 512 GB of DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC memory across 16 modules, leaving 8 of the 24 slots free for expansion.

Fits virtualization hosts needing core density

The 8-bay 2.5-inch chassis holds eight 600 GB 10K SAS drives managed by a PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache and battery-backed RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60. Dual 750 W platinum hot-swap supplies, quad-port networking with two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports, and iDRAC 9 Enterprise remote management complete the package. Buyers who need GPU acceleration for training or inference, or who require more than eight front-accessible drive bays, should evaluate alternative platforms that provide those capabilities.

512 GB DDR4 registered ECC memory capacity

The installed 512 GB uses 16 of the 24 DDR4 slots, so the single specification that decides fit is whether 512 GB of registered ECC DDR4 meets the workload memory footprint or whether the remaining 8 slots must be populated immediately to reach the 3 TB maximum.
