Server Configuration

This Dell PowerEdge R740 rack server arrives with one Xeon Platinum 8160 processor running at 2.1 GHz and 24 cores. It includes 256 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H730P RAID controller. The 8 LFF chassis supports up to eight 3.5-inch SATA drives, which are not installed.

Target Audience

Organisations needing a dual-socket platform with high core count and large memory headroom for virtualisation or database workloads will fit this system. Buyers who require drives, GPUs or a second processor pre-installed should look at a different configuration. The unit ships without storage media.

Included Extras

Two 750 W power supplies and an iDRAC9 Enterprise licence provide redundant power and full remote management out of the box. A 10 GbE two-port 562T network adapter is fitted for high-speed connectivity. Rail kits are available on request.
