Dual Xeon Gold 6134 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2-socket 2U rack server built around two Intel Xeon Gold 6134 processors at 3.2 GHz with a 3.7 GHz turbo frequency. It ships with 128 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across eight 16 GB modules. The system includes a PERC H730P 2 GB storage controller, eight 2.5-inch SAS/SATA drive trays without drives, a quad-port X520/I350 network daughter card, iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management, redundant 750 W platinum power supplies, rails and a front bezel.

Suited for dual-socket density.

This server suits workloads that benefit from two 8-core Xeon Gold 6134 CPUs and up to 3 TB of DDR4 across 24 DIMM slots in a 2U rack footprint. It also fits environments that require the PERC H730P controller with RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 modes plus pass-through. Buyers who need a single-socket platform, a tower chassis, or a different drive-tray count should evaluate other form factors.

24 DDR4 slots and PERC H730P define capacity

The decisive specification is the combination of 24 DDR4 memory slots supporting up to 3 TB and the Dell PERC H730P 2 GB 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA controller. Together they determine the maximum memory capacity and the available RAID levels for the eight 2.5-inch SAS/SATA trays. Verify that your memory population plan and RAID requirements align with these limits before purchase.

Questions about this item

Will the 3.2 GHz Xeon Gold 6134 CPUs work with my existing DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC modules?

Yes — the system runs DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC across 24 slots and already includes 128 GB in eight 16 GB modules, so matching DIMMs will integrate directly.

How can I confirm the PERC H730P controller and iDRAC9 Enterprise are active after installation?

During POST the H730P BIOS lists detected drives and RAID status, while iDRAC9 Enterprise presents its own network configuration screen and web interface once an IP is assigned.

Which drive trays and rails ship with the unit, and what must I supply myself?

Eight 2.5″ SAS/SATA hot-swap trays, ready rails and the front bezel are included; hard drives or SSDs are not installed and must be purchased separately.
