Dual-socket 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server fitted with two Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors running at 2.1 GHz, each providing 16 cores. It comes with 128 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across eight modules and uses the Intel C620 chipset on an LGA 3647 platform. A PERC H730P 2 GB controller manages eight 2.4 TB 10K SAS drives in the front bays.

Virtualisation hosts and database nodes.

This configuration suits virtualisation clusters, database workloads and general-purpose compute where twin 16-core CPUs and 128 GB of ECC memory deliver strong multi-thread throughput. The quad-port network daughter card adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links for flexible fabric attachment. Buyers who need GPU acceleration for AI training or rendering should look elsewhere because the 2U chassis and 750 W power supplies do not support double-width accelerator cards.

PERC H730P RAID controller with 2 GB cache

The installed Dell PERC H730P provides 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA connectivity with a 2 GB battery-backed cache and supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. This controller determines which drive types and RAID levels are available, so verify that its feature set matches the storage topology you plan to deploy.
