R740 Server Capabilities

Key Features

Form Factor2U Rack Server
ProcessorsSupports up to two 1st or 2nd Generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors with up to 28 cores each and a maximum turbo frequency of 3.90GHz. This unit ships with dual Xeon Gold 6138 processors, delivering 40 cores and 80 threads total across both sockets
Memory24 DDR4 DIMM slots supporting up to 3TB of RDIMM or LRDIMM memory, with optional NVDIMM and Intel Optane DCPMM support for persistent memory configurations. ECC protection is standard across all memory configurations
Storage8 x 2.5 inch hot-swap SAS/SATA drive bays as standard. 3.5-inch drives can be used via a 2.5-inch to 3-inch drive converter. Supports NVMe SSDs in compatible drive bay configurations for maximum IOPS
Power SupplyHot-plug redundant power supplies with 1100W Platinum or 750W Titanium as the primary preferred options, supporting high-wattage GPU configurations without derating
ExpansionUp to 8 PCIe Gen 3.0 slots across three riser configurations, including up to four x16 slots. Supports up to three 300W double-wide GPUs or six 150W single-wide GPUs for VDI, analytics, and machine learning workloads
RAID ControllersInternal options include H330, H730P, H740P, HBA330, and S140 software RAID covering RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60
ManagementDell iDRAC9 with Lifecycle Controller, iDRAC Direct, and optional Quick Sync 2 wireless management module for NFC-based proximity configuration

Recommended Use Cases

VDI and Remote Desktop ServicesThe R740 is purpose-built for high density VDI deployments, supporting up to three double-wide GPUs such as the NVIDIA A16 or T4 alongside a 3TB RAM ceiling and dual Xeon Scalable processors. This makes it an ideal platform for hosting hundreds of concurrent virtual desktops within a single 2U chassis, delivering the GPU acceleration required for CAD, rendering, remote engineering, and knowledge worker VDI environments on VMware Horizon or Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops
Mission-Critical Database EngineFor SQL Server, Oracle, and SAP HANA deployments that demand the lowest possible query latency, the R740 8-bay SFF layout prioritizes all-flash IOPS over raw storage volume. The massive memory ceiling allows entire enterprise databases to reside in RAM for sub-millisecond response times, while ECC-protected DDR4 ensures data integrity for transaction-heavy workloads running around the clock
High Density Virtualization and Cloud InfrastructureThe R740 serves as a high-density compute engine for ESXi, Proxmox, and Azure Stack deployments. With dual Xeon Scalable processors, 24 DIMM slots, and up to 8 PCIe slots for 10GbE or 25GbE NICs and storage HBAs, it provides the core count, memory bandwidth, and network throughput necessary to consolidate dozens of virtual machines onto a single efficient physical node

Consider Alternatives For

Rack Space OptimizationIf you are running a standard virtualization cluster or web farm and do not need the extra PCIe expansion slots or dual-width GPU support of a 2U server, you can double your compute density by switching to the Dell PowerEdge Dell R640. Its 1U chassis and identical Xeon Scalable processor support deliver the same compute performance in half the rack footprint for purely CPU-bound workloads.
Maximum Storage DensityThe 8-bay SFF layout of the Dell R740 is built for performance balance rather than bulk capacity. If your primary goal is building a massive file server or backup repository, the Dell PowerEdge Dell R730xd offers 12 large form factor 3.5-inch bays, providing significantly higher raw storage capacity at a lower price point for storage-driven workloads.
