Built for accelerator-heavy workloads

The PowerEdge R740 is a 2-socket, 2U rack server designed to accelerate application performance through accelerator cards and storage scalability. It targets environments that demand balanced compute, memory and I/O resources in a dense form factor. The platform suits virtualisation clusters, database nodes and GPU-accelerated analytics where PCIe expansion matters.

768 GB DDR4 across 24 slots

The system ships with 768 GB of registered ECC DDR4-2400 memory populated in all 24 DIMM slots, leaving no empty sockets for further expansion without removing modules. Maximum supported capacity reaches 3 TB when higher-density DIMMs are installed. Buyers who need more memory than 768 GB out of the box should plan a DIMM replacement strategy.

Dual 750 W PSUs and quad-port networking

Redundant hot-swap 750 W platinum power supplies feed the chassis, while an Intel X520/I350 daughter card delivers two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports. The PERC H730P controller manages the eight 800 GB SATA SSDs with 2 GB cache and battery-backed write cache. iDRAC 9 Enterprise provides remote management. Ready Rails and front bezel are included for immediate rack installation.

Questions about this item

What does the 768 GB of DDR4 memory mean for a running workload?

The system ships with 24 modules of 32 GB DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC, filling all 24 DIMM slots and leaving no empty sockets for further expansion.

What does the PERC H730P 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA controller cap in practice?

The H730P provides 2 GB cache with battery backup and supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through for the eight 800 GB SATA SSDs.

What does the 2U rack height and included rails require for installation?

The chassis occupies 2U in a standard 4-post rack and the supplied ReadyRails allow tool-less sliding mounting; redundant 750 W platinum power supplies are hot-swap.
