Purpose-built 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2-socket 2U rack server configured with two Intel Xeon Gold 6134 8-core processors running at 3.2 GHz with 3.7 GHz turbo. It ships with 64 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across four 16 GB modules and includes a PERC H730P 2 GB storage controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60.

Suited for virtualisation and database workloads

This server suits organisations running virtualised environments, databases or high-performance applications that benefit from dual processors and hardware RAID. Buyers who need more than two processors, more than 24 memory slots, or a different drive interface than SAS and SATA should evaluate other platforms.

Deciding specification: 24 DDR4 slots

The platform provides 24 DDR4 memory slots with a 3 TB maximum capacity, letting you scale from the installed 64 GB to large in-memory datasets. If your workload demands memory beyond that ceiling or requires a different memory generation, this chassis will not meet the requirement.

Questions about this item

What maintenance will the PERC H730P controller battery need later?

The PERC H730P includes a 2GB cache battery that typically requires replacement after three to five years to preserve write-back caching.

What limit appears first when both Xeon Gold 6134 CPUs run at 3.7GHz turbo continuously?

The dual 750 W platinum power supplies set the platform power envelope; sustained all-core turbo on both 8-core processors will reach that limit before thermal throttling.

How loud and hot does the 2U chassis get with both 750 W supplies loaded all day?

Redundant 750 W platinum units and high-speed 2U fans keep noise at typical rack levels; exhaust air stays warm but within ASHRAE A2 guidelines for continuous operation.
