DELL PowerEdge R740 2U Rack Server 2x Xeon Gold 6130 2.1GHz 16-Core 128GB DDR4 8x 400GB SSD H730P

Capacity & Compute

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server fitted with two Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors, each running at 2.1 GHz with 16 cores. It ships with 128 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across eight modules, leaving sixteen slots free for expansion up to 3 TB. A PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache manages the eight installed 400 GB SATA SSDs.

Storage & Connectivity

This configuration suits organisations that need dense, hot-swap SATA SSD storage and a balanced dual-socket compute platform in a 2U form factor. Buyers who require additional drive bays beyond the eight 2.5-inch slots, or who need a different network interface mix, should evaluate other platforms. The integrated X520/I350 daughter card provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports alongside iDRAC 9 Enterprise remote management.

RAID Controller

The PERC H730P 2 GB controller is the single specification that determines whether this server matches the storage topology you need. It supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode for SATA and SAS drives. Redundant 750 W platinum power supplies, ready rails and a front bezel complete the package.
