PowerEdge R740 2U dual-socket server

This Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack-mounted server system with two Intel Xeon Gold 5118 processors running at 2.30 GHz, each providing twelve cores. It ships with 768 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across twenty-four slots and includes a PERC H730P RAID controller with 2 GB cache. Eight 300 GB 10 K SAS drives occupy the 2.5-inch bays, and dual 750 W redundant power supplies are fitted.

Suits virtualisation hosts needing dense CPU cores

The configuration delivers twenty-four total cores and 768 GB of DDR4, supporting memory expansion up to 3 TB across the twenty-four DIMM slots. The quad-port network daughter card provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections, while iDRAC9 Enterprise enables full remote management. Buyers who require solid-state storage tiers, GPU accelerator slots or more than eight drive bays should evaluate other platforms.

768 GB DDR4 registered ECC memory installed

The system arrives with twenty-four 32 GB DDR4 2400 MHz modules filling every slot, giving immediate 768 GB capacity with room to grow to the 3 TB maximum. This memory population determines whether the server meets a workload's RAM requirements without additional purchases.

Questions about this item

How often will the PERC H730P controller battery need replacement?

The PERC H730P includes a battery-backed cache; Dell recommends replacing the battery module every three to five years to preserve write-cache protection during power loss.

Which resource will hit its ceiling first during sustained heavy workloads?

With both Xeon Gold 5118 processors installed the CPU sockets are fully populated, so compute capacity cannot be expanded beyond the 24 cores and 3.2 GHz turbo frequency.

How loud and hot does the server get with both 750 W platinum supplies running continuously?

Dual 750 W platinum units share the load efficiently; Dell rates typical idle power around 285 W and maximum around 350 W, keeping fan speeds moderate in a cooled rack.
