Matched Pair Xeon Gold 6148 20-Core 2.40 GHz
This bundle provides two Intel Xeon Gold 6148 processors, each with 20 cores running at 2.40 GHz and a 27.5 MB L3 cache. Turbo frequency reaches up to 3.70 GHz with a 150W TDP per CPU. The package includes 256GB of DDR4-2666MHz ECC memory configured as eight 32GB modules. Four enterprise SATA SSDs deliver 15.36TB of total storage capacity.
Suits PowerEdge R540 R640 R740 R740xd T440 T640
The kit is built for administrators updating compatible Dell PowerEdge servers including the R540, R640, R740, R740xd, T440 and T640 models. Thermal paste is supplied for installation. Buyers whose chassis or motherboard do not match the listed PowerEdge models cannot use this bundle. Organisations requiring a different memory capacity or storage interface should consider other options.
Slot 2 dual-socket processor configuration
The decisive specification is the Slot 2 socket type paired with a matched pair of Xeon Gold 6148 CPUs. This dual-processor layout only fits systems designed for two Slot 2 sockets and the supported PowerEdge platforms. Verify that your server accepts this exact socket and dual-CPU arrangement before purchase.

Questions about this item
How do I install the Xeon Gold 6148 CPUs into the Slot 2 sockets on a PowerEdge R740?
Align each processor with the socket keys, lower the load plate, then torque the captive screws in a diagonal pattern; the step often missed is applying the included thermal paste evenly before seating the heat sink
What maintenance or replacement will the 15.36 TB Enterprise SATA SSD array need later?
Enterprise SATA SSDs have a longer lifetime than traditional hard drives, so no scheduled drive degradation or failure maintenance is expected under 24/7 RAID operation
What limit appears first on the Xeon Gold 6148 pair under sustained full-load use?
Each CPU has a 150 W TDP, so the thermal envelope of the dual-socket system is the first constraint during prolonged heavy workloads
