Dual 16-core Xeon 6142 server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built around two Intel Xeon Gold 6142 processors running at 2.6 GHz with a 3.7 GHz turbo frequency. Each CPU provides 16 cores, giving 32 cores total for heavily threaded workloads. The system ships with 768 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across 24 DIMM slots and includes an Intel C620 chipset. It is designed for data-centre deployment with redundant hot-swap 750 W platinum power supplies, rails and a front bezel.

Virtualisation and database hosts

This configuration suits organisations running virtualisation clusters, large databases or high-performance computing tasks that benefit from high core counts and large memory capacity. The PERC H730P controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 with a 2 GB cache, and eight 2.4 TB 10K SAS drives provide fast rotational storage. Buyers who need solid-state latency, more than eight drive bays or a different network interface should evaluate other platforms.

768 GB DDR4 registered ECC memory

The installed 768 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across 24 slots is the decisive specification for memory-bound applications. The platform supports up to 3 TB maximum capacity, allowing future expansion if workloads grow. Confirm that your operating system and applications can utilise this memory configuration before purchase.

Questions about this item

Will my existing DDR4 2666MHz ECC modules work alongside the 768GB already installed?

The server has 24 DDR4 slots and currently uses 24×32GB modules for 768GB total. Maximum capacity is 3TB, so empty slots would be required to add more memory.

How can I verify the PERC H730P controller sees all eight 2.4TB SAS drives after installation?

During POST the H730P BIOS lists each detected drive and its RAID status. iDRAC9 Enterprise also shows the full physical-disk inventory and virtual-disk health remotely.

Which items ship in the box and which must be sourced separately?

The box contains the 2U chassis, two Xeon Gold 6142 CPUs, 768GB DDR4, H730P controller, eight 2.4TB SAS drives, X520/I350 quad-port NIC, iDRAC9 Enterprise, two 750W PSUs, bezel and Ready Rails.
