Dual-socket Xeon Gold 6148 server

This new Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built around two 20-core Xeon Gold 6148 processors running at 2.4 GHz with 3.7 GHz turbo. It ships with 512 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across 16 modules and a PERC H730P 2 GB controller driving eight 1.2 TB 10K SAS drives. Redundant 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC 9 Enterprise management are included.

Compute-dense virtualization and database workloads

The 40 total cores and half-terabyte of memory suit heavy virtualization, in-memory databases and multi-threaded enterprise applications. Quad-port networking with two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports handles demanding east-west traffic. Buyers who need more than 24 DIMM slots, more than two sockets or GPU accelerator support should evaluate larger platforms.

24 DDR4 slots with 512 GB populated

The system provides 24 DDR4 DIMM slots and a 3 TB maximum capacity, leaving 16 slots free for future expansion. Memory must be DDR4 registered ECC; other generations are physically and electrically incompatible. This slot count and population density is the key constraint for any memory upgrade plan.

Questions about this item

How much memory can the server hold once the 512GB of DDR4 is installed?

The board has 24 slots and a maximum capacity of 3TB, so there is room to add more DDR4 modules beyond the 16 installed 32GB sticks.

What does the PERC H730P controller's 12Gb/s SAS rating limit in practice?

It caps the drive-side throughput at 12Gb/s for the eight 1.2TB SAS disks and any additional SAS or SATA drives you attach.

What physical items are supplied so the unit can be mounted in a rack?

The package includes ready rails and a front bezel for 2U rack installation.
