Dual-socket Xeon Platinum 8160 server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack-mount server built around two Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors. Each CPU delivers 24 cores at 2.1 GHz with a 3.7 GHz turbo frequency. The system targets data-centre workloads that demand high core counts and large memory capacity in a compact form factor.

768 GB DDR4 with 3 TB ceiling

Installed memory totals 768 GB across 24 slots using 32 GB DDR4-2666 registered ECC modules. The platform supports up to 3 TB, leaving ample headroom for future expansion. Storage is handled by a PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache driving eight 800 GB SATA SSDs in a 2.5-inch bay layout.

Redundant 750 W supplies and quad-port networking

Dual hot-swap 750 W platinum power supplies provide redundancy without extra cabling. A quad-port network daughter card adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections. iDRAC 9 Enterprise enables remote management, while included rails and bezel simplify rack installation.

Questions about this item

Will the 2.5-inch 800 GB SATA SSDs fit in my existing 2.5-inch drive bays?

Yes, the eight 800 GB SATA SSDs are 2.5-inch form factor and mount directly in standard 2.5-inch hot-swap bays.

How can I confirm the PERC H730P controller sees all eight SSDs after installation?

Open the H730P BIOS utility at boot or check iDRAC9 Enterprise storage view; both will list each 800 GB SATA SSD and its RAID state.

Does the shipment include SFP+ transceivers for the 10 GbE ports on the X520/I350 daughter card?

No, the server includes the quad-port daughter card with two 10 Gb SFP+ cages, but transceivers and cables must be purchased separately.
