Silver 2U rack server with eight front drive bays and sliding rail kit

DELL

DELL PowerEdge R740 2U rack server Dual Xeon 6148 2.40 GHz 512GB DDR4 64TB SAS

SKU CH-PPKS-VKTXT

2U rack server with dual 20-core Xeon 6148 CPUs, 512GB DDR4 memory and 64TB of 3.5-inch 7.2K RPM SAS storage on a PERC H730 RAID controller

  • Dual 20-core Xeon Gold 6148 CPUs deliver high multi-thread throughput
  • 512 GB DDR4 3200 MHz memory supports large virtualised workloads
  • 64 TB enterprise nearline SAS storage provides high-capacity data retention
  • PERC H730 RAID controller with 2 GB cache protects array integrity
  • Dual redundant power supplies and hot-swap design maintain uptime during maintenance

Purpose-built dense storage

The Dell PowerEdge R740 2U rack server targets organisations that run dense software-defined storage, traditional applications, virtualisation, private cloud or high-performance computing workloads. Dual Xeon Gold 6148 processors and 512 GB of DDR4 memory deliver the compute headroom those tasks demand. Redundant hot-swappable power supplies keep critical services online during maintenance.

Rail kit and licensed OS accelerate deployment

A factory-supplied rail kit lets the chassis slide into standard racks without extra hardware sourcing. Windows Server 2022 Standard 64-bit with a 16-core licence is included, removing a separate procurement step for the hypervisor or application host layer. The PERC H730 12 Gb/s RAID controller with 2 GB non-volatile cache and the Broadcom BCM5720 quad-port 1 GbE controller are also integrated, so storage and networking are operational once drives are seated.

Eight 8 TB nearline SAS drives set the capacity

The array ships as 64 TB raw (8 × 8 TB) of 3.5-inch enterprise nearline SAS spinning at 7.2 K rpm on a 12 Gb/s bus. That drive count and interface define the maximum addressable storage before any expansion shelf is added. Buyers who need more raw capacity or all-flash performance will need a different chassis or external enclosure.

Questions about this item

What maintenance or replacement will the PERC H730 RAID controller and its 2GB NV cache need later?

The PERC H730 RAID controller is a field-replaceable module; if the 2GB NV cache fails, the card can be swapped without removing the server from the rack.

What limit appears first when the dual Xeon 6148 processors run at 3.70 GHz turbo under sustained load?

Thermal limits of the 2U chassis and the redundant power supply capacity will cap sustained turbo before the CPUs reach their maximum frequency.

How much power do the redundant supplies draw when the 8TB Nearline SAS drives and 512GB DDR4 memory run all day?

The redundant power supplies share the load, so each unit typically runs at partial capacity, reducing heat and fan noise during continuous operation.
