Dual-socket Xeon 2U server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors, each running at 2.1 GHz with 16 cores. It ships with 64 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across four modules and includes a PERC H730P RAID controller with 2 GB cache. Eight 2.4 TB 10K SAS drives provide high-capacity rotational storage in the front bays.

Suited for virtualisation and database workloads

This configuration suits environments that need dual-socket compute density, hardware RAID across multiple SAS spindles and out-of-band management via iDRAC 9 Enterprise. Redundant 750 W platinum power supplies and included rails simplify rack deployment. Buyers who need solid-state primary storage, GPU accelerator slots or higher single-thread clock speeds should evaluate alternative platforms.

16 cores per processor at 2.1 GHz base

Each Xeon Gold 6130 delivers 16 cores with a 2.1 GHz base frequency and 3.7 GHz turbo capability, defining the threading capacity available for parallel workloads. The motherboard supports up to 24 DDR4 slots for future memory expansion to 3 TB. This core count and clock profile is the primary factor when sizing the server for licensing or performance targets.

Questions about this item

What rack space and rails are required to mount the 2U R740?

The server occupies 2U of rack height and ships with Ready Rails for standard square-hole or round-hole cabinets.

How are the eight 2.4TB SAS drives installed, and what step is often missed?

Drives slide into the front 2.5-inch hot-swap bays; the PERC H730P RAID array must be configured in the controller BIOS before the OS sees the volumes.

Which memory modules can be used to expand the 64GB DDR4 later?

DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC RDIMMs or LRDIMMs up to the 3 TB maximum across the 24 DIMM slots.
