Dual Xeon Platinum 24-core server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors running at 2.1 GHz. Each processor delivers 24 cores, giving a total of 24 cores across the dual-socket platform. It ships with 64 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory and eight 400 GB SATA SSDs managed by a PERC H730P RAID controller. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies, iDRAC9 Enterprise and quad-port networking are included.

Suits virtualisation hosts and database nodes

This configuration suits organisations that need a balanced 2-socket platform for virtualisation, database or high-performance computing workloads. The 24-core total and 64 GB memory fit moderate consolidation scenarios. Buyers who need more memory capacity, additional drive bays or a higher core count per socket should look at larger platforms. The fixed 2-processor maximum also limits future CPU expansion.

24 cores total at 2.1 GHz base

The decisive specification is the installed processor configuration: two Xeon Platinum 8160 CPUs each providing 24 cores at a 2.1 GHz base frequency with 3.7 GHz turbo. This core count and clock speed determine the throughput ceiling for any workload placed on the server. Match this figure to your application licensing and performance models before purchasing.

Questions about this item

Do I need to supply any SFP+ transceivers or cables for the X520 10 GbE ports?

The X520 daughter card provides two 10 GbE SFP+ ports; you must add compatible SFP+ transceivers and fibre or direct-attach cables to use them.

Will my existing 2.5-inch SATA drives work with the PERC H730P controller?

The H730P supports SATA and SAS drives; any 2.5-inch SATA SSD or HDD can be installed in the remaining bays and configured in RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60.

How can I confirm the server is running correctly after first power-on?

Watch the front-panel LCD for the iDRAC9 IP address, then open that address in a browser; a green system-health status and two Xeon Platinum 8160 CPUs listed confirm normal operation.
