Dual Xeon Gold 5118 2U Server

This new Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server fitted with two Intel Xeon Gold 5118 processors running at 2.30 GHz with a 3.2 GHz turbo. It ships with 128 GB of DDR4 ECC memory across eight 16 GB modules and a PERC H730P RAID controller with battery backup. Two 800 GB SATA SSDs are installed in the eight 2.5-inch drive bays.

Suited for multi-threaded workloads

The dual 12-core CPUs and 24 memory slots supporting up to 3 TB make this platform appropriate for virtualization, database and compute tasks that scale across many threads. Buyers who need single-thread speeds above the 3.2 GHz turbo or more than two processor sockets should evaluate other platforms.

Storage controller and drive interface

The PERC H730P provides 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA connectivity with RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. The installed 800 GB drives use the SATA interface, so any storage expansion must use SAS or SATA media.

Questions about this item

How loud and hot does the dual Xeon Gold 5118 configuration run with both 750 Watt PSUs under load?

Dual 750 Watt Platinum supplies share the load efficiently; fan speed ramps with CPU temperature so the 2U chassis stays within spec during sustained 2.3 GHz all-core operation.

Which cabling and drives must I already have to populate the remaining six 2.5 inch bays behind the PERC H730P?

The H730P supports SATA and SAS; you need 2.5 inch SATA or SAS drives and the matching back-plane cables that Dell supplies for the R740 8-bay chassis.

Will my existing DDR4 2400 MHz ECC RDIMMs work alongside the eight 16 GB modules already installed?

Yes — all 24 slots take DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC; matching speed and rank keeps the memory subsystem running at 2400 MHz across every channel.
