DELL PowerEdge R740xd 2U rack server 2x Xeon Gold 6142 2.6GHz 16-core 768GB DDR4 H730P 2x 800GB SSD

Dual Xeon Gold 6142 2U rack server

This 2U rack server ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 6142 processors, each running at 2.6 GHz with 16 cores and a 3.7 GHz turbo frequency. It targets organisations deploying virtual desktop infrastructure, software-defined storage or service-provider workloads that demand high core density in a compact chassis. The system includes iDRAC 9 Enterprise for comprehensive remote management and ships with ready rails and a front bezel for immediate rack integration.

768 GB DDR4 and dual 800 GB SSDs

The server provides 768 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across 24 populated slots, leaving headroom to reach the 3 TB maximum capacity. Storage is handled by a PERC H730P 2 GB controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through modes, with two 800 GB SATA SSDs installed in the 24-bay 2.5-inch drive cage. Workloads requiring larger or faster storage volumes will need additional drives.

Redundant 1100 W power and quad-port networking

Dual hot-swap 1100 W platinum power supplies deliver redundancy for continuous operation. Network connectivity comes from an Intel X520/I350 daughter card providing two 1 GbE ports and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports. The LGA 3647 sockets and Intel C620 chipset are fully populated, so CPU upgrades are not possible; expansion relies on memory, storage and PCIe add-in cards.
