DELL PowerEdge R740 2U Rack Server 2x Xeon Gold 6134 3.2GHz 768GB DDR4 8x 600GB SAS H730P

Dell PowerEdge R740 2U Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built for data-centre workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 6134 processors running at 3.2 GHz with a 3.7 GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 768 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots and a PERC H730P RAID controller with 2 GB cache. Eight 600 GB 10K SAS drives occupy the 2.5-inch bays.

Suited for virtualisation and database clusters

This configuration suits teams running virtualised environments or database clusters that benefit from dual-socket performance and large memory capacity. The redundant 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC 9 Enterprise remote management support continuous operation. Buyers who need more than 24 DIMM slots, more than eight drive bays, or a different rack height should evaluate other platforms.

768 GB DDR4 registered ECC memory installed

The single specification that decides fit is the 768 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory already populated across all 24 slots. This amount is fixed unless modules are replaced, so the buyer must confirm the capacity matches the application requirement before purchase. The memory operates at 2666 MHz and uses the LGA 3647 platform.
