DELL PowerEdge R740 2U Rack Server Dual Xeon 6148 2.40 GHz 512GB Memory 96TB SAS Storage

SKU CH-202S-CQ3DH

2U rack server with dual 20-core Xeon Gold 6148 CPUs, 512GB DDR4 memory and 96TB of 3.5-inch SAS storage

  • Dual 20-core Xeon 6148 CPUs deliver 40 threads for heavy workloads
  • 512 GB DDR4 memory across 16 modules supports large-scale virtualization
  • 96 TB enterprise SAS storage on 12 Gb/s controller handles dense data sets
  • Redundant hot-swap power supplies keep critical applications running during replacement
  • iDRAC9 Express remote management enables out-of-band server control

Enterprise 2U Rack Server

The DELL PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server designed for virtualization, software-defined storage and high-performance computing workloads. It targets small-business and enterprise buyers who need dense compute and storage in a standard rack footprint. Installation of the included memory and drives is required before deployment.

Dual Xeon 6148 Thermals

Dual Xeon Gold 6148 processors run at 2.40 GHz with a 3.70 GHz turbo ceiling across 20 cores each. Redundant hot-swappable power supplies allow a failed unit to be replaced without taking the server offline, keeping critical applications running. The Broadcom BCM5720 quad-port 1GbE controller handles network traffic.

PERC H730 Storage Integration

A PERC H730 12Gb/s RAID controller with 2 GB NV cache manages eight 12 TB 3.5-inch nearline SAS drives spinning at 7.2K RPM for 96 TB of raw capacity. Sixteen 32 GB DDR4 modules at 3200 MHz fill the memory slots for 512 GB total. iDRAC9 Express provides remote management access.

Questions about this item

How are the 16 memory modules and 8 drive trays installed, and what step is commonly missed?

The 16 DDR4 DIMMs and 8 Nearline SAS drives ship separately; you must populate all 16 DIMM slots and 8 front bays yourself, and the step often missed is enabling the PERC H730 RAID configuration before loading the OS.

Which components will need replacement first during the server's lifespan?

The 8 Nearline SAS 7.2K RPM drives and the redundant power supplies are the primary field-replaceable units; the 16 DDR4 modules and Xeon Gold 6148 CPUs rarely require replacement under normal operation.

What performance limit appears first when the dual 20-core Xeon 6148 CPUs run sustained workloads?

The 12Gb/s SAS bandwidth shared across the 8 Nearline drives and the PERC H730 controller cache become the bottleneck before the 512GB DDR4 3200MHz memory or CPU turbo frequency are saturated.
