Dual 16-Core Xeon 2U Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built around two Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors. Each CPU runs at 2.1 GHz with 16 cores and a 3.7 GHz turbo frequency. The system ships with 512 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory installed across 16 slots. It includes a PERC H730P 2 GB storage controller and eight 600 GB 10K SAS drives. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies, iDRAC9 Enterprise, quad-port networking, rails and bezel complete the package.

Suited for virtualisation and database workloads

This configuration targets environments that need high core counts and large memory capacity in a compact 2U form factor. The dual-socket design and 24 DIMM slots support up to 3 TB of DDR4 for dense virtualisation or in-memory databases. The eight-bay 2.5-inch chassis with 12 Gb/s SAS connectivity fits storage-heavy applications. Buyers who require GPU acceleration or more than eight drive bays should evaluate alternative platforms.

PERC H730P RAID controller with 2 GB cache

The installed Dell PERC H730P provides 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA connectivity with a 2 GB battery-backed cache. It supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. This controller determines the storage performance and data protection capabilities of the eight 600 GB SAS drives. Verify that the RAID feature set matches your redundancy and throughput requirements before deployment.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 2.5" SAS drives into the 8-bay front panel and what step is often missed?

Slide each drive into a bay until the latch clicks, then configure the PERC H730P RAID array in the controller BIOS before the OS sees the volumes.

What component will need replacement first and how is it serviced?

The H730P controller battery backs the write cache; when it degrades the controller logs an alert and the battery module can be swapped without powering down the server.

What thermal or power limit appears first when both Xeon Gold 6130 CPUs run at 3.7 GHz turbo continuously?

The dual 750 W platinum supplies set the ceiling; sustained all-core turbo on both 16-core processors can draw enough power to trigger throttling before the cooling capacity is exceeded.
