Dual-socket 2U server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rackmount server system built for compute-intensive workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors running at 2.1 GHz, each providing 16 cores. The platform includes 64 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across four modules and a PERC H730P storage controller with 2 GB cache. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management are installed.

Fits virtualisation and database clusters.

This configuration suits organisations consolidating virtual machines, running enterprise databases or deploying high-performance storage arrays. The quad-port network daughter card delivers two 1 GbE and two 10 GbE SFP+ connections for flexible fabric integration. Buyers who need GPU acceleration for AI training or single-threaded applications that benefit from higher clock speeds should evaluate alternative platforms.

Storage controller dictates drive options

The PERC H730P supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode for SATA and SAS drives. It manages the two included 400 GB SATA SSDs and any additional 2.5-inch drives installed in the eight-bay chassis. Memory capacity can expand to 3 TB across 24 DDR4 slots when workloads demand more capacity.

Questions about this item

How often will the PERC H730P controller battery need replacement?

The PERC H730P includes a 2GB cache battery that typically lasts several years; replace it when the iDRAC9 Enterprise interface reports a degraded state to maintain RAID write-back performance.

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

The dual 750 watt platinum power supplies set the sustained ceiling; if total draw approaches 750 watts the system will throttle before the CPUs hit their maximum junction temperature.

How loud are the fans when the server idles at 64GB DDR4 with both 750 watt PSUs active?

Idle fan speed is managed by iDRAC9 Enterprise and runs near minimum RPM; acoustics rise only when CPU load or inlet temperature triggers the thermal profile to spin fans higher.
