4 The R740 and R740xd features the 2nd Generation Intel Xeon Scalableprocessor family, up to 24 DIMMs, PCI Express (PCIe) enabled expansion slots, and a choice of network interfacetechnologies to cover NIC and PowerEdge R740 is a general-purpose platform capable of handling demanding workloads and applications, such as datawarehouses, e-commerce, databases, and high-performance computing (HPC).The PowerEdge R740xd adds extraordinary storage capacity options, making it well-suited for data- intensive applications thatrequire greater storage, while not sacrificing I/O technologiesTable 1. New technologies in R740 and R740xd New technologyDetailed description2nd Generation Intel Xeon Processor ScalablefamilyThe 2nd Generation Intel Xeon Scalable processor family has advanced features thatdeliver exceptional performance and value.

5 See the Processors C620 series chipsetIntel Platform Controller Hub (PCH)2933 MT/s DDR4 memoryThe 2nd Generation Intel Xeon Scalable processor family supports up to 2933 MT/smemory. The R740 and R740xd supports two DIMMs per channel at 2933 MT/s with selectprocessors. See the Memory section for Optane DCpersistent memoryUp to 6 per CPU socket. Max 12 for 2S configuration. 256GB, 512GB per DIMM 1866, 2133, 2400, 2666 MT/s Up to max, ( max with DCPMM and LDRIMM)iDRAC 9 with LifecycleControllerThe new embedded system management solution features hardware and firmware inventoryand alerting, in-depth memory alerting, faster performance, a dedicated gigabit port and manymore features.

6 See the iDRAC managementThe Quick Sync will offer feature parity with the previous server generation NFC interfaceand improved user experience. To extend this Quick Sync feature to wide variety of MobileOS's with higher data throughput, the Quick Sync version replaces the previous servergeneration NFC technology with wireless at-the-box system overview5 system featuresCompared to the previous generation of Dell EMC PowerEdge servers, the R740 and R740xd have more drive bay options, morePCIe slots, next-generation RAID controllers and advanced system : system features comparison Product specificationsSystem features comparisonTable 2.
