Dual 24-core Xeon Platinum 8160 server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors running at 2.1 GHz with 24 cores each. It ships with 256 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across eight 32 GB modules. The system targets organisations that need dense, two-socket compute for virtualisation, databases or high-performance workloads.

2.5-inch bay chassis with H730P RAID

The 8-bay 2.5-inch front panel holds two 400 GB SATA SSDs on a Dell PERC H730P 2 GB controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. A quad-port Intel X520/I350 daughter card provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections. Dual hot-swap 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management are included, while 16 additional DIMM slots and six empty drive bays leave room for memory and storage growth.

Sustained throughput with redundant power

Turbo frequency reaches 3.7 GHz for burst demands, but the dual 750 W supplies and platinum efficiency rating are built to maintain full 24-core load across both sockets continuously. The H730P battery-backed cache protects write performance during extended write-heavy sessions, and iDRAC9 Enterprise allows remote power cycling and firmware updates without physical access.
