Dual-socket 2U server for virtualisation

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server fitted with two Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors running at 2.10 GHz, each providing 16 cores. It ships with 768 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across 24 slots and an eight-bay 2.5-inch chassis populated with 300 GB 10K SAS drives on a PERC H730P RAID controller.

Suited to multi-threaded workloads needing large

This configuration targets environments that run many virtual machines, large databases or container clusters where the 32 total cores and 768 GB RAM are fully utilised. The quad-port network daughter card supplies two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links for segmentation. Buyers who need more than eight drive bays or a GPU-dense chassis should evaluate alternative platforms.

24 DIMM slots supporting up to 3 TB DDR4

The C620 chipset provides 24 memory slots, of which all are occupied by 32 GB modules in this unit. Maximum supported capacity is 3 TB, so any future expansion requires replacing existing DIMMs. Verify that your workload fits within the current 768 GB before purchasing.

Questions about this item

What rack mounting hardware is included with the PowerEdge R740?

Ready Rails and a front bezel are supplied with the server for rack installation.

How are the two Xeon Gold 6130 processors installed in the R740?

Both processors are already installed in the dual LGA 3647 sockets; no further CPU installation is required.

What drive maintenance should be planned for the eight 300 GB SAS disks?

The 10K SAS drives are hot-swappable, so failed units can be replaced without powering down the server.
