DELL PowerEdge R740 2U 8-Bay 2x Xeon Silver 4116 2.1GHz 12-Core 512GB DDR4 H730P 2x 300GB SAS

Dual-Socket 2U Server with 512 GB DDR4

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built around two Intel Xeon Silver 4116 processors, each running at 2.1 GHz with 12 cores. It ships with 512 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 16 modules and includes a PERC H730P storage controller with 2 GB cache. Dual redundant 750 W platinum power supplies, iDRAC9 Enterprise, quad-port networking and ready rails complete the package.

Suited to virtualisation hosts needing maximum

This configuration targets workloads that benefit from 24 total cores and large memory capacity, such as hypervisor clusters or database nodes. The eight 2.5-inch SAS bays and H730P controller support RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Buyers who require more than two processor sockets, more than 24 DIMM slots or a different drive interface should evaluate other platforms.

512 GB DDR4 registered ECC across 24 slots

The installed memory uses DDR4 technology at 2400 MHz in a registered ECC layout, filling 16 of the 24 available slots. This leaves eight slots open for future expansion up to the platform maximum of 3 TB. Confirm that your operating system and applications support this memory type and capacity before deployment.
