PowerEdge R740 8LFF dual Xeon Platinum 8160

This 2U rack server ships with two Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors at 2.1 GHz, 24 cores each, and 512 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. A PERC H730P RAID controller manages up to eight 3.5-inch SATA drive bays. The system includes dual 750 W power supplies and an iDRAC9 Enterprise licence for remote management.

Suits virtualisation clusters

The 512 GB DDR4 capacity and dual-socket design serve workloads that need many threads and large memory footprints. Buyers who need GPU acceleration, a tower form factor or storage interfaces beyond SATA should look elsewhere.

Eight 3.5-inch SATA bays with PERC H730P

The chassis provides eight large-form-factor bays wired to a single PERC H730P controller, so the storage topology is fixed to SATA RAID arrays. Confirm that your drives and RAID level match this controller before ordering.

Questions about this item

How many drive bays does the R740 chassis support for sustained storage workloads?

The chassis supports up to eight 3.5-inch drive bays, each using the SATA interface through the PERC H730P controller.

What power draw and cooling should I expect when both Xeon Platinum 8160 CPUs run continuously?

Two 750 W power supplies are installed; each Platinum 8160 is a 24-core processor at 2.1 GHz, so sustained load will draw significant power and require adequate rack airflow.

Which memory modules must I already have to expand beyond the installed 512 GB?

The system uses DDR4 ECC Registered DIMMs; maximum capacity is 3 TB across the available slots.
