Dell PowerEdge R740 2U rack server

This 2U rack server ships with dual Intel Xeon Gold 6148 processors, each delivering 20 cores at 2.4 GHz with 3.7 GHz turbo. It targets organisations that need dense compute for virtualisation, database or high-performance workloads in a standard rack footprint.

512 GB DDR4 registered ECC memory across 16 slots

The system arrives with 512 GB of DDR4-2666 registered ECC memory installed in 16 of the 24 available slots. Buyers who need more than 512 GB can expand up to the 3 TB maximum, but those requiring a different memory generation or non-ECC modules cannot use this platform.

Tool-less rails and hot-swap drive bays simplify

The included ready rails support tool-less mounting in standard racks, and the eight 2.5-inch drive bays are hot-swappable behind the front bezel. Installers should verify that the PERC H730P firmware matches the SSD firmware to avoid controller drive detection issues during first boot.
