DELL PowerEdge R740 2U rack server 2× Xeon Platinum 8160 2.1GHz 24-core 768GB DDR4 8× 2.4TB SAS H730P

Dual-socket 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built around two Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors running at 2.1GHz with 24 cores each. It ships with 768GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots and a PERC H730P controller managing eight 2.4TB SAS hard drives. Redundant 750W power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management come standard.

Suited for compute-heavy workloads

This configuration fits environments that need high core counts and large memory capacity in a 2U form factor, such as virtualization clusters or database nodes. Buyers who need flash storage, GPU acceleration, or a different drive count should look at other platforms. The installed drives are 10K SAS HDDs, not solid-state media.

768GB DDR4 registered ECC memory

The system arrives with 768GB of DDR4 2666MHz registered ECC memory installed in all 24 DIMM slots. This is the single specification that determines whether the server meets your capacity requirements out of the box. Maximum supported capacity reaches 3TB when higher-density modules are used.
