DELL PowerEdge R740 2U Rack Server Xeon Gold 6136 12C 3.0GHz 192GB DDR4 H330 8x 2.5

DELL PowerEdge R740 2U server

This 2U rack server is built for business workloads such as virtualization, databases, backups and application hosting. A single Intel Xeon Gold 6136 twelve-core processor running at 3.0 GHz delivers 24 threads for multi-service environments. The unit ships with 192 GB of DDR4 memory installed across 24 DIMM slots. It is aimed at IT teams that need a dense compute platform in a standard rack footprint.

8-bay 2.5-inch hot-plug chassis with H330 RAID

The front panel accepts up to eight 2.5-inch SAS or SATA drives for flexible storage layouts. The integrated Dell PERC H330 controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60 without an extra card. Two 750 W redundant hot-swap power supplies keep the system running if one unit fails. PCIe 3.0 riser options provide up to eight slots, including four x16 connectors for add-in cards.

iDRAC9 remote management and DVD optical drive

The embedded iDRAC9 with Lifecycle Controller enables out-of-band monitoring, firmware updates and remote console access from any browser. A DVD-ROM drive is included for legacy media installs. The Matrox G200 graphics chip provides basic video output for local console work. Rails, bezel, keyboard, mouse and video cable are not supplied, so plan for those separately.
