DELL PowerEdge R740 8LFF 2x Xeon Gold 5218 64GB DDR4 rack server

8-bay 3.5-inch rack server

This Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack-mount server system fitted with eight 3.5-inch drive bays and a PERC H730P RAID controller. Dual Intel Xeon Gold 5218 processors run at 2.3 GHz with sixteen cores each and 22 MB cache. Sixty-four gigabytes of DDR4 ECC registered memory are installed and the platform supports up to 3 TB total.

Suited for storage-heavy workloads

The eight large-form-factor bays and hardware RAID make this chassis a match for backup repositories, archival storage or database nodes that need high capacity on SATA drives. Buyers who require 2.5-inch bay density, installed drives, or a single-processor configuration should look at other models.

Dual Xeon Gold 5218 at 2.3 GHz

Two Xeon Gold 5218 CPUs provide sixteen cores per socket at a base frequency of 2.3 GHz, defining the compute ceiling for virtualisation, container hosts or compute clusters. The installed 64 GB DDR4 and maximum 3 TB capacity set the memory boundary for any deployment.
