Dell PowerEdge R740 2U Rack Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built for compute-intensive workloads. It ships with one Intel Gold 6148 processor running at 2.4 GHz with 20 cores and 64 GB of DDR4 memory. Four 800 GB SAS SSDs are pre-installed behind an H730P RAID controller. Remote management is handled by iDRAC9 Enterprise.

Suited for virtualisation hosts needing dense 2U

This configuration suits virtualisation hosts, database nodes or high-performance computing clusters that benefit from 20 cores and fast SAS storage. It is not for buyers who require dual-processor performance from day one or who need more than eight 2.5-inch drive bays. The single CPU and 64 GB memory limit large-scale consolidation scenarios.

Single Intel Gold 6148 20-core processor at 2.4 GHz

The decisive specification is the single Intel Gold 6148 processor with 20 cores at 2.4 GHz. This CPU defines the server's threading capacity and licensing baseline for most enterprise software. Buyers must confirm that one socket meets their performance and licensing requirements before purchase.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the Gold 6148 processor is running at 2.4GHz with all 20 cores active after setup?

Check the CPU frequency and core count in the iDRAC9 Enterprise hardware inventory or BIOS system information page; both will report 2.4GHz and 20 cores for the installed Gold 6148.

Which items are included — bezel, rails, power cords — and what must I purchase separately to populate the remaining drive bays?

The shipment includes the front bezel without LCD, sliding rails, and power cords; you must buy additional 2.5" SAS SSDs or HDDs to fill the four empty bays up to the 8-bay maximum.

Should I choose the current 64GB configuration (4x 16GB DDR4-2666) or add more modules for the Gold 6148?

The 64GB (4x 16GB PC4-2666) kit leaves 20 DIMM slots free; add matched DDR4-2666 modules in multiples of 4 per processor to maintain optimal memory-channel performance.
