DELL PowerEdge R740 2U rack server 2x Xeon Gold 6134 3.2GHz 64GB DDR4 8x 2.4TB SAS

Dual-socket 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack-mounted server system built around two Intel Xeon Gold 6134 processors, each running at 3.2 GHz with 8 cores. It ships with 64 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across four 16 GB modules and includes a PERC H730P storage controller with 2 GB cache. Eight 2.4 TB 10K SAS hard drives populate the front bays, while dual 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise provide redundancy and remote management.

Suited for virtualisation and database workloads

This configuration targets environments that need balanced compute, memory capacity and internal storage in a compact 2U form factor. The dual-socket design and 24 DIMM slots support expansion up to 3 TB of DDR4 for memory-intensive applications. Buyers who require single-socket economy, all-flash arrays or GPU accelerator support should evaluate alternative platforms.

8-core Xeon Gold 6134 at 3.2 GHz

The installed processors define the performance ceiling for this unit. Each Gold 6134 delivers 8 cores at a 3.2 GHz base clock with a 3.7 GHz turbo frequency, and the system board cannot accept more than two CPUs. If a workload demands higher core counts per socket or a different instruction-set profile, this server will not meet the requirement.
