2U dual-socket rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built for data-centre workloads that demand high core counts and large memory capacity. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 6142 processors running at 2.6 GHz with 16 cores each, 768 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots, and a PERC H730P RAID controller managing eight 1.2 TB 10K SAS drives. Redundant 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management complete the package.

Suited for virtualisation hosts and database nodes

This configuration fits organisations running dense virtualisation clusters, in-memory databases or compute-heavy applications that benefit from 32 total cores and 768 GB of RAM. The quad-port 1 GbE and 10 Gb SFP+ network daughter card supports high-throughput east-west traffic. Buyers who need a tower chassis, single-processor economics or direct-attached GPU accelerators should evaluate alternative platforms.

Storage controller and drive interface

The PERC H730P 2 GB controller provides 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA connectivity with RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. Eight 2.5-inch 1.2 TB 10K SAS drives are installed in the front bays. Verify that your workload fits within the available SAS drive bays and that the controller’s RAID feature set matches your redundancy requirements.

Questions about this item

What does the dual Xeon Gold 6142 16-core configuration at 2.6 GHz with 3.7 GHz turbo deliver in a real workload?

Two 16-core Xeon Gold 6142 CPUs running at 2.6 GHz base and 3.7 GHz turbo provide 32 total cores for heavy multi-threaded workloads such as virtualization and database processing.

How does the PERC H730P 12Gb/s SAS controller limit drive performance in practice?

The H730P 12Gb/s SAS controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through, so eight 1.2 TB 10K SAS drives are capped at the controller's 12Gb/s link speed.

What clearance and mounting hardware does the 2U chassis require for installation?

The server is a 2U rack unit that ships with ready rails and a front bezel for standard rack mounting.
