Dual Xeon 2U Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon Silver 4116 processors, each running at 2.1 GHz with 12 cores. It targets organisations that need a dense, two-socket platform for virtualisation, database workloads or high-performance computing clusters where core count and memory capacity matter more than single-thread speed.

Storage Controller And Network Integration

The system includes a Dell PERC H730P 2 GB controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through, managing eight 800 GB SATA SSDs in the front 2.5-inch bays. A quad-port Intel X520/I350 daughter card provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections, while iDRAC 9 Enterprise handles remote management without consuming a PCIe slot.

Sustained Load Behaviour

Redundant 750 W platinum power supplies and hot-swap cooling keep the chassis stable during continuous multi-threaded workloads. The 768 GB of DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC memory, populated across 24 slots, supports large in-memory datasets without paging, and the C620 chipset maintains consistent I/O throughput for storage and networking under prolonged demand.

Questions about this item

What is the maximum memory capacity the 24 DDR4 slots can reach?

The 24 DDR4 slots support up to 3TB of registered ECC memory, with 768GB installed across all slots.

How much heat must the dual 750W platinum power supplies dissipate under full load?

Dual 750 watt platinum power supplies deliver redundant power; actual heat output depends on the workload placed on the two 12-core Xeon processors and eight SSDs.

Which network interfaces are built into the X520/I350 daughter card?

The daughter card provides two 1GbE ports and two 10Gb SFP+ ports for direct fibre or copper uplinks.
