Configuration Summary
The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon Gold 6140 processors running at 2.3GHz, providing 36 cores total. It ships with 128GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H730P RAID controller, ready for integration into enterprise environments requiring high compute density.
Target Audience
This system suits organisations building virtualisation clusters, database nodes or high-performance computing clusters that benefit from dual-socket density and up to 3TB maximum memory capacity. Buyers needing pre-installed storage drives or a different drive bay count should evaluate other configurations, as this unit ships without drives and uses an 8-bay 3.5-inch SATA backplane.
Deciding Specification
The chassis supports eight 3.5-inch SATA drive bays driven by the PERC H730P controller, defining the storage topology for this server. Confirm that your workload fits this bay count and interface before purchase.
