Dual-socket Xeon Gold 6142 server

The PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server fitted with two Intel Xeon Gold 6142 processors, each running at 2.6 GHz with 16 cores and a 3.7 GHz turbo frequency. It targets organisations that need high thread density for virtualisation, database workloads or compute-intensive applications. The platform supports up to two processors and uses the Intel C620 chipset.

128 GB DDR4 with 3 TB ceiling

The system ships with 128 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across eight 16 GB modules, occupying eight of the 24 available DIMM slots. This leaves substantial headroom to scale toward the 3 TB maximum capacity as workloads grow. Storage is handled by a Dell PERC H730P 2 GB controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60, driving eight 1.2 TB 10K SAS hard drives in the 2.5-inch bays.

Redundant 750 W platinum supplies

Dual hot-swap 750 watt platinum-efficiency power supplies provide redundancy for continuous operation in demanding environments. The server includes an Intel X520/I350 quad-port network daughter card delivering two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections. Remote management is handled by iDRAC 9 Enterprise, while ready rails and a front bezel simplify rack installation.

Questions about this item

Will the 2.5-inch 1.2TB SAS drives work with my existing SAS backplane?

The eight 1.2TB 10K SAS drives use a 12Gb/s SAS interface and fit the 2.5-inch bays, so they will connect to any standard SAS backplane that supports 12Gb/s speeds.

How can I verify the dual Xeon Gold 6142 CPUs and 128GB DDR4 are running correctly after installation?

Use the iDRAC9 Enterprise interface to check CPU health, memory configuration and POST logs; the system will show both 16-core processors at 2.6GHz and all 128GB of registered ECC DDR4.

Does the box include SFP+ modules for the 10Gb ports on the X520/I350 daughter card, or must I buy them separately?

The server ships with the quad-port X520/I350 card installed, but SFP+ transceivers for the two 10Gb SFP+ ports are not included and must be purchased separately.
