PowerEdge R740 dual-socket 2U server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built for compute-dense workloads. Two Intel Xeon Silver 4116 processors deliver 24 cores at 2.1 GHz with 3.0 GHz turbo. 768 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory fills all 24 slots. Eight 600 GB 10 K SAS drives sit behind a PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache.

Virtualisation hosts, database nodes.

This configuration suits teams running hypervisors, SQL clusters or analytics jobs that benefit from high core counts and large memory capacity. The 8-bay 2.5-inch chassis and 12 Gb/s SAS controller provide fast local redundancy. Buyers who need more than two processor sockets, GPU accelerator bays or flash-only drive bays should evaluate other platforms.

768 GB DDR4 in 24 populated slots

The system arrives with every DIMM slot occupied by 32 GB modules, reaching the 768 GB installed total. Expanding memory requires replacing existing DIMMs because no free slots remain. The DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC specification must be matched exactly for any future upgrades.
