Dual-socket 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon Gold 6148 processors running at 2.4 GHz with 20 cores each. It ships with 128 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots, supporting up to 3 TB total capacity. The system targets virtualisation, database and high-performance computing workloads that demand high core counts and large memory footprints.

Hot-swap drive bays and redundant power

Eight 2.5-inch SAS/SATA hot-swap trays are accessible from the front, though no drives are installed. A Dell PERC H730P 2 GB controller provides RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through modes with battery-backed cache. Network connectivity comes from a quad-port daughter card offering two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports. Dual 750 W platinum-efficiency power supplies and iDRAC 9 Enterprise remote management are included, along with ready rails and a front bezel.

Efficient cooling for dense compute

Redundant hot-swap power supplies and the 2U chassis layout direct airflow across the dual processors and memory banks, maintaining stable temperatures under sustained multi-threaded loads. Platinum-rated units reduce waste heat and overall power draw compared to lower-efficiency alternatives. Fan speeds scale with thermal demand, keeping acoustic output appropriate for rack-row deployment while protecting the installed Xeon CPUs and DDR4 memory.

Questions about this item

What storage interface does the PERC H730P controller use and what is its maximum throughput?

The Dell PERC H730P controller provides a 12Gb/s SAS/SATA interface supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through modes.

What physical mounting hardware is included for rack installation?

Ready Rails and a front bezel are included for standard rack mounting in a 2U form factor.

How are the processors installed and what common step should be avoided?

Two Xeon Gold 6148 processors come pre-installed in the LGA 3647 sockets; do not attempt to add a third CPU as the maximum is two.
