2U Rack Server with Gold 6148

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server configured with a single Intel Gold 6148 processor. It delivers 20 cores at 2.4 GHz and includes 32 GB of DDR4 memory. Four 1.2 TB 10K SAS drives and an H730P RAID controller provide internal storage. The chassis supports up to eight 2.5-inch drive bays.

Suited for dense compute workloads

This server fits virtualisation hosts, database nodes and high-performance computing clusters that benefit from high core counts and fast SAS storage. The 1100 W redundant power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management support continuous operation. Buyers needing more than one processor or larger memory capacity from the start should consider other configurations.

Single Gold 6148 processor installed

The system ships with one Intel Gold 6148 CPU occupying one of two sockets. This limits total core count to 20 unless a second compatible processor is added. Memory is populated as two 16 GB DDR4 modules running at 2666 MT/s. The H730P controller manages the four included SAS drives in the available 2.5-inch bays.

Questions about this item

What rack rails and power cords are included so the R740 can be mounted and powered immediately?

The server ships with rails and power cords, so it can be racked and connected to a suitable PDU without extra parts.

Will the four 1.2 TB SAS drives and H730P controller work with additional 2.5 inch SAS drives I already own?

Yes, the chassis has eight 2.5 inch bays and the H730P supports SAS drives, so extra SAS drives can be added and configured in RAID.

How can I verify the iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management is active after first boot?

Connect the management port, browse to the iDRAC IP shown on the LCD, and log in with the default credentials to confirm the Enterprise licence is applied.
