Dual Xeon Platinum 8160 compute platform

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built around two Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors, each running at 2.1 GHz with 24 cores and a 3.7 GHz turbo frequency. It targets organisations that need dense, dual-socket performance for virtualisation, database or high-performance computing workloads.

128 GB DDR4 with 3 TB headroom

Eight registered ECC DDR4 modules at 2666 MHz provide 128 GB of installed memory across 24 DIMM slots, leaving room to scale toward the 3 TB maximum. The PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across eight 2.5-inch SAS or SATA drive bays, though no drives are included.

Quad-port 1/10 GbE networking and remote management

An Intel X520/I350 daughter card delivers two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports for flexible uplink configurations. iDRAC 9 Enterprise enables full out-of-band control, while dual 750 W platinum power supplies and included rails complete the deployment-ready package.

Questions about this item

Will the H730P controller recognise the 2.5" SAS drives I already own?

The PERC H730P 2GB controller supports SATA and SAS interfaces, so your existing 2.5" SAS drives will be detected and can be configured in RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 or 60.

How can I confirm the dual Xeon Platinum 8160 CPUs are running at the rated 2.1 GHz base and 3.7 GHz turbo after installation?

Use the iDRAC 9 Enterprise interface or the system BIOS to view real-time CPU frequency readings for both 24-core processors under load.

The listing says 8x 2.5" trays but no drives — what else must I purchase to make the array operational?

You need to buy 2.5" SAS or SATA hard drives or SSDs separately; the server includes the H730P controller, trays, cabling, bezel and rails, but ships with zero storage media.
