Dell PowerEdge R740 2U Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built for compute-intensive workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors, each running at 2.1 GHz with 16 cores, and 512 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 16 modules.

Suits virtualization and database clusters

This configuration suits teams running virtualization clusters or large databases that benefit from high core counts and memory capacity. Buyers who need more than two processor sockets or direct-attached accelerator cards should consider other platforms.

Dual Xeon Gold 6130 with 16 cores each

The two 16-core Xeon Gold 6130 CPUs deliver 32 physical cores at 2.1 GHz base and 3.7 GHz turbo, setting the performance ceiling for multi-threaded applications on this platform.

Questions about this item

Do I need to supply my own SFP+ transceivers to use the 10GbE ports on the X520/I350 network daughter card?

Yes, the two 10Gb SFP+ ports on the Intel X520/I350 daughter card require compatible SFP+ transceivers or direct-attach cables, which are not included.

Can I keep using my existing 12Gb/s SAS drives alongside the eight installed 300GB 10K SAS drives?

The PERC H730P controller supports 12Gb/s SAS and SATA, so additional 12Gb/s SAS drives can be added to the remaining drive bays.

How do I confirm the iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management is active after first power-on?

Connect the dedicated iDRAC network port, then browse to the IP shown on the front-panel LCD; the login screen confirms iDRAC9 Enterprise is operational.
