Dual 16-core Xeon Gold 6142 server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack-mount server system equipped with two Intel Xeon Gold 6142 processors running at 2.6 GHz with 3.7 GHz turbo. Each processor provides 16 cores for a total of 32 cores and the system ships with 512 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across 24 slots.

Virtualisation hosts and database nodes

This configuration suits organisations that need high core counts and large memory capacity in a 2U form factor with redundant 750 W power supplies. Buyers who require more than two physical processors, more than 3 TB of total memory or a different storage controller should evaluate other platforms.

PERC H730P 2 GB RAID controller

The integrated Dell PERC H730P controller provides 2 GB of cache with battery backup and supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through modes. It manages the eight 2.5-inch SAS or SATA drive trays that are included without any drives installed.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the H730P controller battery is holding charge after installation?

The PERC H730P includes a battery-backed cache; after powering on, check the iDRAC9 Enterprise interface under Storage > Controllers for battery status showing "Optimal" or "Charging" to confirm it is functioning.

Which drive trays and caddies are included versus drives I must source separately?

The server ships with eight 2.5-inch SAS/SATA hot-swap trays installed; no hard drives or SSDs are included, so you must purchase compatible 2.5-inch SAS or SATA drives separately.

Should I choose the 512GB configuration or plan to fill all 24 DIMM slots up to the 3TB maximum?

This unit already has 512GB installed as sixteen 32GB DDR4 2666MHz registered ECC modules, leaving eight empty slots for future expansion up to the 3TB limit.
