5.2 PowerEdge R740/R740xd
The PowerEdge R740/R740xd is a general-purpose platform with highly expandable memory (up
to 3TB) and impressive I/O capability to match both read-intensive and write-intensive
operations. The R740 is capable of handling demanding workloads and applications such as data
warehouses, E-commerce, databases, high-performance computing (HPC), and Deep learning
workloads.
Figure 11 below shows the topology connection for CPU: GPU in PowerEdge R740/R740xd server.
