DELL PowerEdge R740 2U Rack Server 2x Xeon Silver 4116 2.1GHz 12 Core 768GB DDR4 2x 300GB HDD

2U Rack Server with Dual Xeon Silver

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack-mount server system designed for compute-intensive workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Silver 4116 processors, each running at 2.1 GHz with 12 cores. The system includes 768 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots and uses the Intel C620 chipset. Redundant 750 W hot-swap power supplies support continuous operation.

Suited for Virtualisation and Database Workloads

This configuration suits environments that need high core counts and large memory capacity, such as virtualisation hosts or database clusters. The PERC H730P controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 with a 2 GB cache. Buyers who require more than two processor sockets or front-access U.2 bays should evaluate alternative platforms. The quad-port network daughter card provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections.

24 DIMM Slots Supporting 3 TB Maximum Memory

The motherboard provides 24 DDR4 DIMM slots with a maximum supported capacity of 3 TB. The installed 768 GB uses 24 modules of 32 GB each at 2400 MHz. Memory expansion requires registered ECC DDR4 modules compatible with the Intel C620 chipset and LGA 3647 socket. The eight 2.5-inch drive bays accept SAS or SATA drives through the H730P controller.
