Server for Accelerated Workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built to accelerate application performance with accelerator cards and storage scalability. It suits organisations running demanding virtualisation, database or high-performance computing tasks that require a dense, two-socket platform with redundant power and remote management.

Dual 20-Core Xeon Gold 6148 CPUs

Two Intel Xeon Gold 6148 processors run at 2.4 GHz with a 3.7 GHz turbo frequency, delivering 20 cores each for a total of 40 cores. The LGA 3647 socket and Intel C620 chipset support up to 3 TB of DDR4 across 24 slots, with 128 GB of 2666 MHz registered ECC memory installed.

Tool-less Rails and iDRAC9 Enterprise

Ready Rails and a front bezel are included for tool-less mounting in standard racks. iDRAC 9 Enterprise provides full remote management so firmware updates, power cycling and console access work without physical presence. The PERC H730P controller requires its battery to be charged before RAID 5, 6, 50 or 60 arrays become fully write-cached; forgetting this step is the most common cause of unexpected write-performance drops after deployment.

Questions about this item

What does having two Xeon Gold 6148 20-core processors at 2.4 GHz mean for real-world throughput?

Forty physical cores running at a 2.4 GHz base with a 3.7 GHz turbo deliver high parallel throughput for virtualisation, databases and compute-heavy workloads.

How does the PERC H730P controller and SATA interface limit the eight installed 400 GB SSDs?

The H730P provides 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA connectivity with RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60; the SATA 6 Gb/s link caps each SSD at that bandwidth.

What physical space and mounting hardware does the 2U chassis require?

The server occupies 2U of rack height and ships with ready rails and a front bezel for standard rack installation.
