2U rack server with dual Xeon Gold 5218R processors

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack-mount server equipped with two Intel Xeon Gold 5218R CPUs running at 2.1 GHz. Each processor provides 20 cores and 27.5 MB of cache, delivering 40 cores total for multi-threaded workloads. It targets organisations that need dense compute in a standard rack footprint.

384 GB DDR4 ECC memory with headroom to 3 TB

The system ships with 384 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory installed across the available DIMM slots. This capacity comfortably supports virtualisation clusters, in-memory databases and large container fleets. The platform maximum is 3 TB, so further expansion is possible when workloads grow beyond the current configuration.

Eight 3.5-inch drive bays

The chassis provides eight 3.5-inch SATA drive bays for high-capacity storage arrays, while the PERC H730P hardware RAID controller manages redundancy and performance. Dual 750 W power supplies and an iDRAC9 Enterprise licence are included for remote management. A 10 GbE two-port 562T adapter handles network connectivity. Rail kit is available separately.

Questions about this item

Will the two Xeon Gold 5218R processors and 384GB DDR4 memory work with my existing SATA drives?

Yes, the PERC H730P RAID controller supports SATA drives, so your current 3.5" SATA disks can be installed in the eight drive bays and managed by the controller.

How can I confirm the iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management is active after installation?

Connect a network cable to the dedicated iDRAC port, power on the server, and access the iDRAC web interface using the default credentials; the Enterprise licence will be shown on the dashboard once the firmware is up to date.

What components are included and what must I purchase separately?

The server ships with two Xeon Gold 5218R CPUs, 384GB DDR4 ECC registered memory, a PERC H730P RAID controller, a 10GbE 2-port 562T adapter, two 750W power supplies and rails on request; no 3.5" drives are included.
