Dual 20-Core Xeon Gold 6148 Server

This 2U rack server ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 6148 processors, each running at 2.4 GHz with 20 cores. It includes 128 GB of DDR4 memory across eight 16 GB modules and a Dell PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache. Eight 600 GB 10K SAS drives and dual 750 W platinum power supplies are installed.

Suited for compute-heavy workloads needing SAS

The dual-socket design and 24 memory slots support up to 3 TB of DDR4, fitting virtualisation hosts or database nodes that rely on SAS RAID arrays. Buyers who need more than eight drive bays, SATA-only controllers, or a single-processor configuration should consider other platforms.

Storage controller determines RAID flexibility

The PERC H730P provides hardware RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode on a 12 Gb/s SAS interface. This controller choice fixes the supported RAID levels and drive protocol for the installed 600 GB SAS disks.

Questions about this item

What rack height and rail depth does the 2U R740 chassis require for installation?

The server occupies 2U of rack space and ships with Ready Rails for standard four-post racks.

Can the PERC H730P controller manage the existing 10K SAS drives together with newer SATA SSDs in the same array?

The H730P supports mixed SAS and SATA drives across its 12Gb/s ports and handles RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60.

How do I confirm both Xeon Gold 6148 processors and all 128GB of DDR4 memory are recognised after first boot?

Check the iDRAC9 Enterprise System Inventory or the BIOS POST screen; both will list two 20-core CPUs and eight 16GB DIMMs.
