Dual-socket Xeon Gold 6152 server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 arrives as a 2U rack-mount system fitted with two 22-core Xeon Gold 6152 processors running at 2.1 GHz. It targets organisations that need dense compute for virtualisation, database or high-performance workloads in a standard rack footprint. Buyers who require single-threaded frequency above 3 GHz or GPU-accelerated AI training should look elsewhere.

Thermal and power profile

Dual 750 W power supplies share the load for the CPUs, 256 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and the PERC H730P RAID controller. Redundant cooling and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management keep temperatures and fan speeds under automated control during sustained operation. The configuration ships without drives so storage power draw depends on the disks you install.

Build and connectivity

Eight 3.5-inch drive bays connect through the H730P controller using SATA links, while a 10 GbE 562T two-port adapter handles network traffic. Rails are available on request for standard rack mounting. The chassis measures 36 by 24 by 10 inches and weighs 40 units, so plan rack space and lifting assistance accordingly.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 2x Xeon Gold 6152 processors and what step is commonly missed?

The 2x Xeon Gold 6152 processors are pre-installed in both sockets; the step often missed is confirming the iDRAC9 Enterprise license is activated after the first boot.

What maintenance will the PERC H730P RAID controller need later?

The PERC H730P controller requires firmware updates aligned with the system BIOS and periodic battery-backed cache module checks to maintain write performance.

What limit appears first when the 256GB DDR4 memory runs sustained workloads?

The 256GB DDR4 installed capacity is the first limit under sustained use; the system supports up to 3TB maximum if additional modules are added.
