Dual 16-core Xeon Gold 6130 server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors running at 2.1 GHz with 16 cores each. It ships with 256 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across 24 DIMM slots and a PERC H730P 2 GB storage controller. Eight 400 GB SATA SSDs populate the front 2.5-inch drive bays, while dual 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise provide redundancy and remote management.

Suited for virtualisation and database workloads

This configuration suits organisations running virtualised environments, database clusters or compute-intensive applications that benefit from 32 total cores and large memory capacity. The eight-bay 2.5-inch chassis and SAS/SATA controller support RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Buyers who need more than 24 DIMM slots or who require additional drive bays beyond the eight provided should look at other platforms.

PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache

The installed PERC H730P RAID controller delivers 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA connectivity with a 2 GB battery-backed cache, enabling hardware RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. This controller determines the storage performance and data-protection options available for the eight 400 GB SSDs. Verify that your workload matches the controller’s supported RAID levels and throughput before deployment.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 256GB DDR4 configuration or plan for the 3TB maximum memory capacity?

The system ships with 256GB across eight 32GB DDR4 2666MHz modules in 24 slots, leaving 16 slots free for future expansion up to the 3TB limit.

What does the 2.1GHz base clock with 3.7GHz turbo mean for actual workloads on the dual Xeon Gold 6130 CPUs?

Each of the two 16-core processors runs at 2.1GHz base and can boost to 3.7GHz, giving 32 total cores that scale frequency based on thermal headroom and thread count.

How does the PERC H730P controller and SATA interface affect the eight 400GB SSDs in practice?

The H730P 2GB controller manages the eight 400GB SATA SSDs over 12Gb/s SAS/SATA links with RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 and pass-through modes.
