Dual Xeon Gold 6142 2U Server

This Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server fitted with two Intel Xeon Gold 6142 processors running at 2.60 GHz with 16 cores each. It ships with 512 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 16 modules and a Dell PERC H730P 2 GB SAS controller. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management are included.

Virtualisation and database workloads

The 32 combined cores and large memory capacity suit virtualisation hosts, database servers and compute-heavy applications that benefit from multi-threaded performance. The 2.5-inch SAS drive bays and 12 Gb/s controller support high-throughput storage arrays. Buyers who need more than two processor sockets, GPU accelerator slots or 10 K SAS drives beyond the two included should look at a different platform.

512 GB DDR4 registered ECC memory

The system arrives with 512 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory installed in 16 of the 24 available slots. This specific capacity and memory type determine whether the server matches the workload immediately or requires additional modules before deployment.
