Server identity
The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built around two Intel Xeon Gold 6140 processors running at 2.3GHz. Each CPU provides 18 cores, giving 36 threads in total. The system ships with 384GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H730P RAID controller. Eight 3.5-inch drive bays are available, but no drives are installed.
Who it suits
This configuration fits organisations that need dense compute and large memory capacity for virtualisation, database workloads or high-performance computing. Buyers who require installed storage, GPU acceleration, or a smaller form factor should consider other platforms. The unit includes dual 750W power supplies and an iDRAC9 Enterprise licence for remote management.
Deciding specification
The maximum supported memory is 3TB across 24 DDR4 slots, so the installed 384GB leaves significant headroom for future expansion. If the target workload will not exceed the current memory footprint, a lower-capacity system could reduce cost. The 8-bay 3.5-inch chassis limits storage density compared with 2.5-inch alternatives.
