Dual-Socket Xeon Server for Dense Compute

The PowerEdge R740 fits two Xeon Gold 6130 processors, each with 16 cores at 2.1 GHz and a 3.7 GHz turbo, into a 2U rack chassis. With 128 GB of registered ECC DDR4 across 8 modules and 24 total slots, it serves virtualization clusters, database nodes, or HPC workloads that need high core counts in a compact footprint.

Sustained Load Behaviour with Redundant Power

Dual 750 W platinum power supplies share the load and keep the system running if one unit fails. The C620 chipset and PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache maintain consistent throughput for RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 or 60 arrays, while the two 300 GB 10K SAS drives and quad-port 1/10 GbE card handle steady network and storage traffic without thermal throttling.

Rack Installation and Common Pitfalls

Ready Rails and the front bezel are included, so the 2U unit slides into standard square-hole or threaded racks without extra kits. Buyers who need more than two 2.5-inch drives must add caddies and backplane cables, and the 3 TB memory ceiling requires high-density RDIMMs or LRDIMMs not supplied. The iDRAC9 Enterprise licence is pre-activated, but remote KVM access needs a dedicated management network port.

Questions about this item

How much heat do the two 750W platinum power supplies generate under full load?

Each 750W supply is platinum-efficiency rated, and the server uses redundant hot-swap units for continuous operation.

Does the X520/I350 daughter card require SFP+ transceivers for the 10Gb ports?

The card provides two 10Gb SFP+ ports that need compatible transceivers and cables for fibre or copper links.

Can I add more DDR4 memory to the 24 slots without removing the 8x 16GB modules?

Yes, 16 of the 24 DDR4 slots remain free, supporting up to 3TB total with registered ECC modules.
