PowerEdge R740 8-bay rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack-mounted server system built for data-centre workloads. It arrives with a single Intel Xeon 5118 processor running at 2.3 GHz and 256 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. The chassis provides eight 3.5-inch drive bays and includes a PERC H730P RAID controller.

Suits virtualisation hosts needing dense storage

This configuration fits teams consolidating VMs or running databases that benefit from large memory capacity and internal drive density. The second processor socket is free for future expansion. Buyers who require more than two CPU sockets or who need pre-installed drives should evaluate other platforms.

Single Xeon 5118 with 12 cores and 16.5 MB cache

The installed processor delivers twelve cores and a 16.5 MB cache at a 2.3 GHz base frequency. This core count and cache size are the primary determinants of throughput for the target workloads. Adding a second matching processor doubles the core count without changing the memory architecture.
