Rack server with dual Xeon Gold 5218 CPUs

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack-mount server built for virtualization, database, and enterprise workloads. Two Intel Xeon Gold 5218 processors run at 2.3 GHz and provide sixteen cores each with 22 MB cache. One hundred twenty-eight gigabytes of DDR4 ECC registered memory are installed, and the chassis supports up to three terabytes total.

Suits dense storage arrays.

Eight 3.5-inch drive bays connect to a PERC H730P RAID controller over SATA, making the system a good fit for high-capacity arrays. Integrated graphics and the 2.3 GHz clock speed limit GPU-accelerated tasks such as AI training or rendering. The 36 by 24 by 10 inch footprint and 40-pound weight require a standard rack rather than a desk or wall mount.

8 LFF bays with PERC H730P decide storage density

The single specification that determines fit is the eight large-form-factor bays paired with the PERC H730P controller. If the deployment needs more than eight 3.5-inch drives or a different RAID engine, this chassis cannot meet the requirement. Buyers who need fewer bays or 2.5-inch density should evaluate other configurations.

Questions about this item

How do I install the PERC H730P RAID controller and what step is often missed?

Insert the PERC H730P into the dedicated internal slot, then connect the drive cables to the eight 3.5-inch bays; the step often missed is enabling the controller in the BIOS before creating any virtual disks.

What maintenance will the DDR4 memory need over time?

The 128GB DDR4 ECC registered modules require no routine maintenance; if a DIMM fails the system will log a correctable error and the faulty stick can be replaced with an identical DDR4 registered module.

What limit appears first when the dual Xeon Gold 5218 CPUs run at 2.3GHz under sustained load?

The 750W power supplies set the first hard limit; prolonged full-load operation on both 16-core processors can exceed the combined 750W capacity before thermal throttling activates.
