Dell PowerEdge R740 2U Server

This Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built for compute-intensive workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors at 2.1GHz, each providing 16 cores. The system includes 512GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 16 modules and a Dell PERC H730P controller with 2GB cache. Eight 1.2TB 10K SAS drives and redundant 750W power supplies are installed.

Virtualisation hosts and database clusters

The dual-socket design with 32 total cores suits virtualisation hosts, database clusters and high-performance computing tasks that benefit from high memory capacity. iDRAC9 Enterprise enables full remote management. Buyers who need more than 24 DIMM slots, more than eight 2.5-inch drive bays or more than two processors should look at a different platform.

512GB DDR4 registered ECC memory

The installed 512GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 16 modules is the specification that determines fit for memory-bound applications. The platform supports up to 3TB total across 24 slots, so expansion is possible if the workload demands it.

Questions about this item

Will the 2.1 GHz Xeon Gold 6130 CPUs hold their turbo clocks under continuous load?

The processors run at 2.1 GHz base with a 3.7 GHz turbo; sustained frequency depends on workload and cooling headroom.

How loud and hot does the R740 get when both 750 W platinum PSUs run 24/7?

Dual redundant 750 W platinum supplies share the load; fan speed ramps with inlet temperature and CPU utilisation.

Which rails and cabling do I need to mount this 2U server in a standard rack?

Ready Rails and a front bezel are included; the chassis accepts 2.5" SAS drives and uses the H730P controller.
