Ready-to-deploy 2U rack server
The Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 arrives as a complete 2U system with a single Intel Gold 6148 processor, 20 cores at 2.4GHz, 27.5M cache, and 64GB DDR4 memory. Four 960GB SAS SSDs sit behind an H730P RAID controller, while dual 10Gb and dual 1Gb RJ45 ports handle network traffic. iDRAC9 Enterprise provides remote management out of the box.
Expansion headroom inside the chassis
Eight 2.5-inch drive bays leave four slots open for additional SAS storage without leaving the rack. Up to eight PCIe Gen 3 slots accommodate extra controllers, accelerators or networking cards. Redundant 1100W power supplies support the added cards and drives while maintaining uptime.
Steady throughput under continuous load
The 20-core CPU and 64GB DDR4 sustain multi-threaded workloads such as virtualization clusters or database services without thermal throttling. H730P write-back cache and SAS SSDs keep latency consistent during prolonged I/O streams. Redundant power and iDRAC9 telemetry let operators monitor health and maintain service continuity.
