DELL PowerEdge R740 8LFF 2x Xeon Gold 6152 768GB DDR4 rack server

Dell PowerEdge R740 8LFF server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built for data-centre workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 6152 processors running at 2.1 GHz and 768 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. Eight 3.5-inch drive bays and a PERC H730P RAID controller provide flexible local storage. Remote management is handled by iDRAC9 with an Enterprise licence.

Suited for virtualisation and database hosts

This configuration fits teams that need high core counts and large memory capacity in a compact rack footprint. Buyers who require pre-installed drives or GPU acceleration should look at other configurations. Organisations needing more than two sockets or memory beyond 3 TB will need a different platform.

Dual Xeon Gold 6152 with 768 GB DDR4

The pair of 22-core Xeon Gold 6152 CPUs and 768 GB of DDR4 memory defines the compute ceiling for this unit. Memory can scale to 3 TB using the 24 DIMM slots. The PERC H730P controller supports SATA drives across the eight 3.5-inch bays. Dual 750 W power supplies and a 10 GbE 562T adapter complete the baseline specification.
