Built for virtualisation and data workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R740XD is a 2U rack server equipped with dual Intel Xeon Gold 6152 processors running at 2.10 GHz, delivering 44 cores and 512 GB of DDR4 memory. Redundant hot-swap power supplies and hot-swap fans support continuous operation in business-critical environments.

Suits teams needing dense storage

The chassis provides eight drive trays and an H740P storage controller, while 24 DIMM slots allow memory growth up to 3 TB. Buyers who require GPU acceleration or a smaller 1U form factor should evaluate alternative platforms.

Dual 10 GbE SFP+ connectivity decides fit

Two 10 GbE SFP+ ports based on the X520 controller sit alongside four 1 GbE RJ45 interfaces, giving high-speed uplink options for virtualisation clusters or storage traffic. Organisations without SFP+ switching infrastructure will not use the primary network links.

Questions about this item

What does the 44-core total mean when the server is running virtual machines?

Two Xeon Gold 6152 chips give 44 physical cores at 2.10 GHz, letting you assign dedicated vCPUs to many VMs without heavy oversubscription.

How fast can the 10 Gb SFP+ ports actually move data in this chassis?

The dual-port X520 controller caps each SFP+ link at 10 Gbps, so sustained throughput is limited to that line rate.

How many DDR4 modules can I add before the 24 slots are full?

The board has 24 DDR4 slots supporting up to 3 TB total; 512 GB is already installed, leaving the remaining slots open for expansion.
