2U Rack Server with 20-Core Intel Gold 6148

The Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rackmount server built around a single Intel Gold 6148 processor running at 2.4 GHz with 20 cores and 27.5 MB cache. It ships with 32 GB of DDR4 memory in two 16 GB modules and four 480 GB SATA SSDs managed by an H730P RAID controller. This configuration suits virtualisation hosts, database nodes and general compute workloads in a standard rack.

Installation Notes for the R740 Chassis

The server includes sliding rails and redundant 1100 W power supplies for straightforward rack mounting. iDRAC9 Enterprise provides remote console and lifecycle management before the operating system loads. Four 2.5-inch drive bays remain free for expansion. Installers must verify rack depth and power distribution compatibility; the unit has no optical drive for local media installation.

Pre-Purchase Compatibility Checklist

Confirm that your rack provides sufficient depth and airflow for a 2U chassis with up to eight 2.5-inch drives. Ensure network infrastructure supports the Intel X550 dual 10 Gb RJ45 and dual 1 Gb RJ45 ports. Verify that your hypervisor or operating system supports the H730P RAID controller and the installed DDR4-2666 memory configuration. Buyers needing a second processor or GPU acceleration should note this unit ships with one CPU and no GPU.
