Dell PowerEdge R740 2U Rack Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built for compute-intensive workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors, each running at 2.10 GHz with 16 cores. The system includes 256 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across 24 DIMM slots. Eight 800 GB SATA SSDs are installed behind a PERC H730P 2 GB storage controller with battery-backed cache.

Suited for dual-socket virtualization

This configuration suits organisations running virtualisation clusters, in-memory databases or high-performance computing jobs that benefit from 32 total cores and a large memory footprint. The redundant 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC 9 Enterprise remote management support continuous operation. Buyers who require more than two processor sockets, GPU accelerator trays or drive bays beyond the eight 2.5-inch SATA slots should evaluate alternative platforms.

Storage controller determines RAID flexibility

The Dell PERC H730P 2 GB controller provides 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA connectivity with support for RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. This single component decides whether the server can meet your redundancy and performance requirements for the installed 800 GB SSDs.

Questions about this item

How many processors can the R740 support before hitting the socket limit?

The system has two LGA 3647 sockets and both are populated with Xeon Gold 6130 CPUs, so the maximum of two processors is already installed.

What is the power supply rating and redundancy for continuous operation?

Two 750 Watt Platinum efficiency power supplies provide redundant hot-swap power for all-day running.

Which rails and bezel are required to mount this 2U server in a standard rack?

Ready Rails and the front bezel are included with the unit for immediate rack installation.
