Dell PowerEdge R740 2U server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built for dense compute workloads. It carries two Intel Gold 6142 processors, each with 16 cores, and 64GB of DDR4 memory. Eight 2TB 7.2K SAS drives attach to an H740P controller for high-capacity storage. iDRAC9 Enterprise provides full remote management.

Buyers needing maximum core count

This configuration suits buyers needing maximum core count and storage density in a 2U chassis. It is not for buyers who want more storage bays than the eight 2.5-inch slots provide. It is not for buyers who need a different drive interface or a higher spindle speed. It is not for buyers who require GPU acceleration.

Dual Gold 6142 16-core CPUs

The dual Gold 6142 16-core CPUs deliver 32 total cores and set the performance ceiling for this server. Each processor runs at 2.6GHz with 19.25M cache. The 64GB DDR4 memory and eight 2.4TB 10K SAS drives complete the core specification.

Questions about this item

What rack space and mounting hardware do I need for the 2U R740 chassis?

The server occupies 2U in a standard 19-inch rack and ships with rails for installation.

Can I keep my existing DDR4 memory modules when upgrading to the 2666 MHz configuration?

The system uses 64GB of DDR4 PC4-2666 memory in four 16GB modules; matching speed and rank is required for compatibility.

How do I verify the H740P controller and iDRAC9 Enterprise are active after first boot?

During POST the H740P BIOS lists the eight 2TB 7.2K SAS drives, and iDRAC9 Enterprise appears on its dedicated network port for remote login.
