Dell PowerEdge R740 2U dual-socket server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built around two Intel Xeon Gold 6148 processors, each with 20 cores at 2.40 GHz. It ships with 768 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across 24 slots and a PERC H730P 2 GB RAID controller driving eight 2.5-inch SAS bays. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies, iDRAC9 Enterprise and quad-port 1 GbE plus 10 GbE SFP+ networking come standard.

Suited for virtualisation hosts needing dense

This configuration fits workloads that benefit from 40 total cores and high memory capacity, such as database clusters or virtualisation farms. The eight-bay 2.5-inch chassis limits raw storage volume, so buyers who need many large drives should consider a different chassis. Single-socket or tower deployments are not supported by this 2U rack form factor.

768 GB DDR4 2666 MHz in 24 slots decides fit

The installed 768 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory occupies every DIMM slot, leaving no room for expansion without removing modules. Maximum supported capacity is 3 TB, but reaching it requires replacing the existing 32 GB sticks. Confirm your application can run within 768 GB or budget for a full memory swap.
