Dual-socket 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors, each running at 2.1 GHz with 16 cores. It includes 128 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across eight modules and a Dell PERC H730P storage controller with 2 GB cache. Two 400 GB SATA SSDs provide boot or application storage in an eight-bay 2.5-inch chassis.

Suited for virtualised workloads.

This configuration suits environments that need dual-socket compute density, redundant 750 W power supplies and integrated 10 GbE SFP+ networking via the X520/I350 daughter card. iDRAC9 Enterprise enables remote management without an operating system. Buyers who need internal GPU accelerators or more than eight 2.5-inch drive bays should evaluate alternative platforms.

Eight-bay 2.5-inch SATA/SAS chassis

The server provides eight front-accessible 2.5-inch bays wired to the H730P controller, supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Only SATA and SAS drives are compatible with this backplane and controller combination. Expansion beyond the eight bays requires an external enclosure or a different server model.

Questions about this item

What rack height and rail kit does the R740 require?

The server occupies 2U of rack space and ships with Ready Rails for tool-less mounting in a standard four-post rack.

How are the Xeon Gold 6130 processors installed, and what step is often missed?

Both CPUs are pre-installed in the LGA 3647 sockets; the step often missed is applying the correct torque to the heat-sink retention screws in the diagonal sequence shown in the service manual.

When will the PERC H730P controller battery need replacement?

The 2 GB RAID controller battery typically lasts three to five years; the iDRAC 9 Enterprise console will report a battery-learn cycle failure when replacement is due.
