Dell PowerEdge R740 2U server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built for virtualization and database workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors running at 2.1 GHz with 16 cores each and 256 GB of DDR4 ECC memory across eight DIMMs.

Check CPU socket and memory compatibility

Verify your existing infrastructure supports the LGA 3647 socket and registered DDR4 ECC modules at 2666 MHz. The system includes a PERC H730P RAID controller with 2 GB cache and two 400 GB SATA SSDs, so confirm drive bay and cabling requirements match your rack layout.

Dual 750 W platinum power supplies

Redundant hot-swap 750 W platinum power supplies deliver efficient power conversion under typical enterprise loads. The 2U chassis uses Dell's engineered airflow design to manage thermals across both CPUs, memory, and storage while keeping acoustic output within data-center norms.
