Dual-Socket Xeon Server for Virtualised Workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors, each running at 2.10 GHz with 16 cores. Sixty-four gigabytes of DDR4 registered ECC memory is installed across four modules. The system targets organisations that need dense compute for virtualisation, databases or high-performance applications.

Tool-Free Rails and Hot-Swap Components

Ready Rails allow the chassis to be mounted in a standard rack without tools. Both 750-watt platinum power supplies and the eight 2.5-inch drive bays support hot-swap replacement, so failed units can be changed while the server stays online. The PERC H730P controller battery must be monitored; a depleted unit disables write-back cache and reduces storage throughput until replaced.

Twelve-Gigabit SAS Backplane and Memory Ceiling

The storage backplane operates at 12 Gb/s SAS, limiting attached drives to that interface speed even if faster media are used later. Twenty-four DIMM slots accept DDR4 registered ECC modules up to a 3 TB aggregate capacity, so expansion beyond the factory 64 GB requires compatible registered memory; unbuffered or non-ECC sticks will not function.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the server is operating correctly once racked and powered on?

The iDRAC 9 Enterprise interface will show green health status for both Xeon Gold 6130 CPUs, all 64 GB of DDR4 memory, the H730P controller with its battery, and the eight 600 GB SAS drives.

Which components ship with the unit and which must be sourced separately?

Included are two 750 W redundant power supplies, ready rails, front bezel, the X520/I350 quad-port network daughter card, and all listed drives and memory; no additional parts are required for basic operation.

Which configuration suits a workload that needs maximum internal storage performance?

The installed PERC H730P with 2 GB cache supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across the eight 600 GB 10 K SAS drives, delivering the highest throughput this chassis can provide.
