DELL PowerEdge R740 2U Rack Server Dual Xeon 6130 2.10 GHz 256GB 15.36TB

Built for virtualization and dense storage

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server designed for small businesses and enterprise environments. It runs dual Xeon Gold 6130 processors, each with 16 cores at 2.10 GHz and a 3.70 GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 256GB of DDR4 memory across eight 32GB modules and 15.36TB of enterprise SSD storage on four 3.84TB drives. It targets virtualization, private cloud, software-defined storage and high-performance computing workloads.

Sustained operation with redundant power and RAID

Hot-swappable redundant power supplies let you replace a failed unit without taking the server offline, keeping critical applications running around the clock. The PERC H730 RAID controller with 2GB non-volatile cache manages the four enterprise SSDs at 12Gb/s, providing data protection and consistent throughput under continuous heavy load. Broadcom BCM5720 quad-port 1GbE networking and iDRAC9 Express remote management maintain connectivity and oversight during extended operations.

Rail kit included, memory and drives ship loose

A rail kit is supplied for rack mounting, but the eight 32GB DDR4 modules and four 2.5-inch SSDs arrive separately and must be installed before deployment. This adds setup time and requires compatible DIMM population rules and drive carrier handling. Builders who need a fully assembled, ready-to-rack unit or who lack experience with server memory configuration and RAID initialization should plan accordingly.
