2U rack server for accelerator workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2-socket 2U rack server built around two Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors, each with 24 cores at 2.1 GHz and a 3.7 GHz turbo frequency. It ships with 768 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across 24 slots, leaving room to grow toward the 3 TB maximum. The system targets environments that need compute density and storage flexibility in a compact rack footprint.

Dual CPUs, PERC H730P and eight SAS drives

Two Xeon Platinum 8160 CPUs occupy the maximum processor count supported by the Intel C620 chipset. The Dell PERC H730P 2 GB controller manages eight 600 GB 10K SAS drives in the 2.5-inch bays, offering RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through modes. A quad-port network daughter card adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections, while iDRAC 9 Enterprise provides dedicated remote management. Redundant 750 W platinum power supplies and sliding rails are included.

Sustained throughput with redundant power

Under continuous load the dual 24-core processors maintain high clock speeds within the 2U thermal envelope, supported by the redundant 750 W platinum power supplies. The H730P battery-backed cache preserves write performance during extended I/O bursts, and the 12 Gb/s SAS backplane keeps storage bandwidth consistent. Hot-swap power and drive bays allow component replacement without taking the server offline, supporting uninterrupted operation in demanding deployments.
