Dual Xeon Gold 5118 2U Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built for compute-intensive workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 5118 processors, each running at 2.3 GHz with 12 cores. The system includes 128 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 8 modules. Eight 300 GB 10K SAS drives and a PERC H730P controller provide high-speed storage.

Suits virtualisation and database clusters.

This configuration fits organisations running virtualised infrastructure, database clusters or high-thread-count applications. The dual-socket design and 24 DIMM slots support up to 3 TB of memory for dense consolidation. Buyers needing GPU acceleration for AI training or workstations requiring discrete graphics should evaluate platforms with PCIe accelerator support and appropriate power budgets.

24 DDR4 slots define maximum memory capacity

The server provides 24 DIMM slots populated with 8 x 16 GB modules at 2400 MHz. This leaves 16 slots free for expansion up to the 3 TB DDR4 limit. Memory type and slot count are fixed by the Intel C620 chipset and LGA 3647 sockets, so any upgrade must use registered ECC DDR4 modules compatible with this platform.

Questions about this item

How often will the PERC H730P controller battery need replacement?

The PERC H730P includes a battery-backed cache; the battery typically lasts several years under normal operation and can be hot-swapped without downtime when it eventually degrades.

Which component hits its limit first during sustained all-core workloads?

With both Xeon Gold 5118 processors at 2.3 GHz base clock and a 3.2 GHz turbo ceiling, the CPU thermal envelope is the first constraint under continuous heavy compute.

What noise and heat levels should I expect from the dual 750 W platinum PSUs running 24/7?

Redundant 750 W platinum supplies and hot-swap fans keep the 2U chassis within Dell’s thermal spec; acoustic output is typical for a 2U rack server under constant load.
