DELL PowerEdge R740 2U Rack Server 2x Xeon Platinum 8160 2.1GHz 24-Core 256GB DDR4 8x 2.4TB SAS H730P

PowerEdge R740 2U dual-socket server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built around two Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors, each running at 2.1 GHz with 24 cores. It ships with 256 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across eight 32 GB modules. The system includes a PERC H730P 2 GB storage controller and eight 2.4 TB 10K SAS hard drives in 2.5 inch bays.

Check power, rails and network needs

Verify that your rack can supply two 750 watt redundant hot-swap power supplies and that the included ready rails match your cabinet depth. Confirm the quad-port network daughter card with two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports fits your switching infrastructure. Ensure the iDRAC 9 Enterprise remote management interface is compatible with your existing monitoring tools.

Sustained load with redundant power and cooling

Dual 750 watt platinum-efficiency power supplies share the load continuously, keeping the platform stable during extended compute tasks. The 2U chassis airflow is designed for the thermal output of two 24-core processors and eight 10K SAS drives under constant utilisation. RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 are all supported by the H730P controller for ongoing data protection.
