4U dual-socket workstation barebone
The Supermicro SYS-740GP-TNRT is a 4U tower or rack-mountable barebone built for dual 3rd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors. It targets scientific virtualisation, high-performance computing, rendering and AI deep-learning training workloads. The chassis ships without CPUs, memory or storage, letting integrators configure the system to exact workload requirements.
Verify CPU cooler clearance and power budget
Confirm that chosen LGA 4189 processors fit within the 4U thermal envelope and that the dual 2000 W redundant Titanium power supplies meet the combined TDP of both CPUs plus all installed accelerators. The board provides sixteen 288-pin DDR4 3200 slots with ECC support; populate them with registered or load-reduced DIMMs only. Ensure the operating system and applications can address the 6 TB maximum memory capacity.
Four full-height GPU slots and hot-swap storage bays
Four PCIe 4.0 x16 full-height full-length slots accommodate double-width compute cards, while two additional low-profile x16 slots and one low-profile x8 slot provide extra I/O flexibility. Eight 3.5-inch hot-swap bays accept SATA, SAS or NVMe drives with four dedicated NVMe ports; two M.2 sockets support NVMe or SATA modules. Dual 10 GbE Base-T ports and a single VGA output handle network and basic display connectivity.

Questions about this item
Does the SYS-740GP-TNRT ship with CPUs, memory or drives, and what must I buy separately?
The barebone arrives without CPUs, DDR4 memory or storage. You must supply up to two LGA 4189 Xeon Scalable processors, up to 16 DDR4 3200 ECC modules for up to 6 TB, and 3.5" SATA, SAS or NVMe drives for the eight hot-swap bays.
Which CPU and memory configuration should I choose for this dual-socket 16-slot platform?
Install one or two 3rd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable CPUs in the LGA 4189 sockets. Populate DDR4 3200 ECC RDIMMs or LRDIMMs across the 16 slots; maximum supported capacity is 6 TB when both sockets are occupied.
What does the 10 Gigabit LAN figure mean for real-world throughput in this server?
The two onboard RJ45 ports each deliver 10 GbE Base-T connectivity, providing up to 10 Gbit/s network bandwidth per port for storage replication, cluster traffic or high-speed client access.
