Dual Xeon Gold 6142 2U Rack Server

This new DELL PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server fitted with two Intel Xeon Gold 6142 processors, each running at 2.60 GHz with 16 cores. It ships with 256 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across 24 slots and includes a PERC H730P 2 GB storage controller.

Virtualisation Hosts Needing High Core Counts

The configuration suits buyers who need high core counts and large memory capacity for virtualisation, database or compute workloads within a 2U form factor. It is not for buyers who require GPU accelerator support or more than two processor sockets.

2x 800 GB SATA SSD Boot And Data Drives

Two Dell Enterprise 800 GB SATA 6 Gb/s 2.5" solid-state drives are installed, providing fast boot and application storage via the H730P controller supporting RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60. The 8-bay 2.5" chassis allows additional SATA or SAS drives to be added later.

Questions about this item

How much rack height does the 2U Dell PowerEdge R740 require?

The server occupies 2U of rack space and ships with Ready Rails for tool-less installation in standard racks.

What is the correct order for installing the two Xeon Gold 6142 processors and the 256GB DDR4 memory?

Install both processors first, then populate the 24 DIMM slots starting with the slots assigned to CPU1, using the 8x 32GB registered ECC modules supplied.

Which components in the R740 are hot-swappable and may need replacement without downtime?

The two 750W platinum power supplies, the 2.5-inch SATA SSDs, and the PERC H730P controller battery are all hot-swappable for service continuity.
