DELL PowerEdge R740 8x3.5 2x Xeon Platinum 8268 512GB DDR4

Server system with dual Xeon Platinum processors

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a rack-mount server system equipped with two Intel Xeon Platinum 8268 processors running at 2.9 GHz. Each processor provides 24 cores and 35.75MB of cache. The chassis supports up to eight 3.5-inch drive bays with a SATA interface and includes a PERC H730P storage controller. It arrives with 512GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory installed and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management.

Organisations needing dense CPU and memory capacity

This configuration suits environments that demand high core counts and large memory footprints, such as virtualisation hosts or database clusters. The dual-processor design and 512GB of DDR4 provide substantial compute resources. Buyers who require GPU acceleration or pre-installed storage drives should look at other options, as this unit ships with integrated graphics only and no drives installed.

Eight 3.5-inch drive bays with SATA interface

The chassis provides eight large-form-factor bays connected through a SATA interface and managed by the PERC H730P controller. This layout determines how many drives you can add and what drive type is compatible. Verify that your storage plan fits within these eight SATA bays before purchasing.
