Dual-socket Xeon server for compute density

The PowerEdge R740 fits two Intel Xeon Silver 4110 processors in a 2U rack chassis, delivering sixteen cores at 2.1 GHz with 3.0 GHz turbo. It targets workloads that need high thread counts in a compact footprint, such as virtualisation hosts, database nodes and HPC clusters.

Sustained load behaviour with redundant power

Dual 750 W platinum hot-swap supplies keep both CPUs and the full 512 GB DDR4 complement running continuously without throttling. The PERC H730P controller with battery-backed cache maintains write performance during extended RAID rebuilds or heavy transaction logs.

512 GB registered ECC DDR4 decides fit

Sixteen 32 GB modules populate 24 slots, leaving room to grow toward the 3 TB ceiling. Buyers who need more memory capacity per socket or a different memory generation cannot use this configuration.
