Silver 2U rack server with front drive bays, rail kit, dual power supplies and iDRAC panel

DELL

DELL PowerEdge R740 2U Rack Server Dual Xeon Gold 6148 2.40 GHz 512GB DDR4 15.36TB SSD

SKU CH-XF1A-RAE4D

2U rack server with dual 20-core Xeon Gold 6148 processors, 512 GB DDR4 memory and 15.36 TB enterprise SSD storage

  • Dual Xeon Gold 6148 processors deliver 40 cores at 2.40 GHz up to 3.70 GHz Turbo for heavy workloads
  • 512 GB DDR4 3200 MHz memory in 16 modules of 32 GB supports dense virtualization
  • 36 TB enterprise SSD storage across eight 1.92 TB drives provides ultra-fast capacity
  • PERC H730 RAID controller with 2 GB NV cache protects data and accelerates I/O
  • Hot-swappable redundant power supplies and iDRAC9 Express remote management maintain uptime

Dual Xeon Gold 6148 Server

This 2U rack server ships with two 20-core Xeon Gold 6148 processors running at 2.40 GHz with turbo up to 3.70 GHz and 27.5 MB cache each. It includes 512 GB of DDR4 PC4-25600 3200 MHz unbuffered memory across 16 modules. The platform targets virtualization, private cloud, high-performance computing and dense software-defined storage workloads.

Redundant Power and iDRAC9 Management

Dual hot-swappable power supplies allow replacement without taking the server offline, keeping critical applications running. Remote management is handled by iDRAC9 Express for out-of-band monitoring and control. A PERC H730 12 Gb/s RAID controller with 2 GB non-volatile cache manages the storage array. Network connectivity uses a Broadcom BCM5720 quad-port 1 GbE BASE-T rNDC.

15.36 TB Enterprise SSD Storage

Eight 1.92 TB enterprise 2.5-inch SSDs provide 15.36 TB of ultra-fast storage capacity behind the RAID controller. Drives and memory upgrades are supplied separately and require installation before deployment. The system suits buyers who need large memory footprints and redundant power in a 2U form factor; it does not meet needs for GPU-accelerated workloads or single-threaded frequency optimisation.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 16 DDR4 modules and 8 2.5-inch SSD drives that ship separately?

Seat each 32GB DDR4 stick in the 16 DIMM slots until the ejectors click, then slide the 1.92TB SSDs into the front hot-swap bays until the carrier locks engage; both steps require the chassis to be racked and powered off.

Which components will need replacement first during the server's service life?

The two redundant power supplies and the eight enterprise SSDs are the primary field-replaceable units; fans and the PERC H730 controller battery are next on the maintenance schedule.

What thermal or power limit appears first when both Xeon Gold 6148 CPUs run at 3.70 GHz turbo continuously?

The dual redundant power supplies set the ceiling; sustained all-core turbo on 40 total cores will hit the PSU rating before the cooling subsystem reaches its maximum airflow capacity.
