Dual-socket Xeon Gold 6142 2U server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rackmount server equipped with two Intel Xeon Gold 6142 processors, each running at 2.60 GHz with 16 cores. It ships with 64 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across four modules and includes a PERC H730P storage controller with 2 GB cache. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies, an Intel X520/I350 quad-port network daughter card and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management are installed.

Suited for dual-CPU workloads with SAS/SATA storage

This platform targets environments that need two-socket compute density and hardware RAID across SAS or SATA drives. The 24 DIMM slots support up to 3 TB of DDR4 for memory-intensive applications. Buyers who need pre-installed solid-state drives, more than eight 2.5-inch drive bays or a single-processor configuration should look elsewhere.

Eight 2.5-inch SAS/SATA drive bays with PERC H730P

The chassis provides eight hot-swap trays for 2.5-inch SAS or SATA drives and no drives are included. The PERC H730P controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through modes with a battery-backed 2 GB cache. Verify that your storage plan fits the eight-bay limit and the SAS/SATA interface before purchasing.
