Purpose-built 8-bay rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 chassis holds up to eight 3.5-inch drives in a 2U form factor. It targets organisations that need dense local storage and dual-socket compute for virtualisation, databases or backup repositories. Buyers who require GPU acceleration or more than two processors should look elsewhere.

Dual Xeon Gold 6148 processors

Two Intel Xeon Gold 6148 CPUs run at 2.4 GHz with ten cores each and 27.5 MB cache per chip. This is the specification that defines the server’s multi-threaded throughput ceiling. Workloads that scale beyond twenty cores or demand higher single-thread frequency will not be satisfied by this configuration.

768 GB DDR4 ECC registered memory

The installed 768 GB of DDR4 ECC registered RAM supports large in-memory databases and heavy virtualisation loads. The platform can accept up to 3 TB, so headroom exists for future expansion. Applications that already exceed 768 GB today will need additional modules before deployment.

Questions about this item

What does the 768 GB of DDR4 memory mean for real-world virtualization density?

The installed 768 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory supports large virtual-machine counts and in-memory databases on the dual 10-core Xeon Gold 6148 CPUs, and the platform can scale to 3 TB if workloads grow.

What storage speeds does the PERC H730P controller with SATA drives actually deliver?

The PERC H730P RAID controller manages up to eight 3.5-inch SATA drives; throughput is limited by the SATA interface and the chosen drive models rather than the controller itself.

How deep is the chassis and will it clear standard rack doors?

The chassis measures 36 inches deep, 24 inches wide and 10 inches high; verify your rack depth and door clearance before mounting.
