Dual Xeon Gold 6244 Server

This Dell PowerEdge R740 rack server arrives with two Intel Xeon Gold 6244 processors at 3.6 GHz and 256 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. The 8 LFF chassis supports up to eight 3.5-inch SATA drives through a PERC H730P RAID controller. Remote management is handled by iDRAC9 Enterprise.

Suited for memory-heavy workloads

The 256 GB capacity fits virtualization hosts, database nodes and compute clusters that need large RAM per socket. Buyers who want more storage bays than eight 3.5-inch slots or who require GPU acceleration should look at other platforms.

256 GB DDR4 ECC capacity

The installed memory total is the key figure for sizing virtual machines, buffer pools or in-memory analytics. Verify that this amount matches the licensing and performance targets of the intended application before purchase.

Questions about this item

What rack space and depth does the 36 x 24 x 10 in chassis require?

The R740 occupies 2U of rack height and needs a cabinet at least 36 inches deep; the 40 lb weight means two people or a lift should be used when sliding it onto rails.

How are the two Xeon Gold 6244 processors and 256 GB DDR4 memory installed, and what step is often missed?

Both CPUs are factory-seated in the dual-socket board and the 256 GB of DDR4 ECC registered DIMMs are pre-populated; the step people miss is verifying the memory configuration in BIOS after first power-on to confirm all channels are active.

What maintenance will the dual 750 W power supplies and PERC H730P controller need later?

The redundant 750 W units are hot-swap, so a failed supply can be replaced without downtime; the PERC H730P battery-backed cache module should be checked annually and swapped if the controller logs a cache-battery fault.
