1System OverviewIntroductionFigure 1. PowerEdge R740/R740xdThe PowerEdge R740/R740xd is Dell EMC’s latest two socket, 2U rack servers designed to run complex workloads using highly scalablememory, I/O capacity and network options. The R740/R740xd features the Intel Xeon processor scalable family, up to 24 DIMMs, PCIExpress (PCIe) 3.0 enabled expansion slots, and a choice of network interface technologies to cover NIC and rNDC.The PowerEdge R740/R740xd is a general-purpose platform with highly expandable memory (up to 3TB) and impressive I/O capability tomatch. The R740 is capable of handling demanding workloads and applications, such as data warehouses, E-commerce, databases, andhigh-performance computing (HPC).In addition to the R740’s capabilities, The R740xd adds extraordinary storage capacity options, making it well-suited for data intensiveapplications that require greater storage, while not sacrificing I/O performance.6System Overview
New technologiesTable 1. New technologies in R740 and R740xdNew technologyDetailed descriptionIntel Xeon processor scalablefamilyThe Intel Xeon processor scalable family has advanced features that deliver exceptional performanceand value. See the Processors section.Intel C620 series chipsetThe R740 and R740xd systems incorporates the Intel Platform Controller Hub (PCH) chip.2666MT/s DDR4 memoryThe Intel Xeon processor scalable family support 2666 MT/s memory. The R740 and R740xd supportstwo DIMMs per channel at 2666 MT/s with these processors. See the Memory section for details.Next-generation PERC optionsThe R740 and R740xd support new PowerEdge RAID Controller (PERC) cards with improvedfunctionality and faster performance. See the Storage section.iDRAC 9 with LifecycleControllerThe new embedded system management solution features hardware and firmware inventory andalerting, in-depth memory alerting, faster performance, a dedicated gigabit port and many morefeatures. See the iDRAC section.Wireless managementThe QuickSync 2.0 feature is an extension of Near-field communication(NFC ) based low bandwidthQuick sync interface in PowerEdge R730. QuickSync 2.0 will offer feature parity with previousgeneration server's NFC interface to improve user experience. To extend this QuickSync feature towide variety of Mobile OS's with higher data throughput, the QuickSync 2.0 version replaces theprevious generation server's NFC technology with wireless at-the-box system management.LCD bezelThe R740 and R740xd LCD control panel will be embedded in the system front bezel for easy accessand management. See the LCD bezel section.System Overview7
