Dell PowerEdge R740 2U Rack Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built for data-centre workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors, each running at 2.1 GHz with 16 cores. The system includes 768 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory and eight 600 GB 10K SAS drives managed by a PERC H730P controller. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC 9 Enterprise remote management are standard.

Virtualisation hosts and database clusters

This configuration suits virtualisation hosts and database clusters that need high core counts and large memory capacity in a compact 2U form factor. The dual-socket design supports up to two processors and 24 DIMM slots for future expansion. Buyers who need more than two processor sockets or who require storage interfaces beyond SAS and SATA should consider other platforms, as the chassis and controller are limited to those specifications.

PERC H730P RAID controller with 2 GB cache

The storage subsystem centres on the Dell PERC H730P controller with 2 GB of battery-backed cache. It supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 as well as pass-through mode. The eight installed 600 GB 10K SAS drives connect via 12 Gb/s SAS links. This controller choice determines the RAID features and drive compatibility for the server.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box and what must I purchase separately?

The server ships with two Xeon Gold 6130 processors, 768 GB of DDR4 ECC memory across 24 slots, eight 600 GB 10K SAS drives, a PERC H730P controller with battery, quad-port X520/I350 networking, iDRAC9 Enterprise, redundant 750 W PSUs, rails and bezel. No operating system or extra drives are included.

Which memory configuration should I choose for this R740?

It is already populated with 24 × 32 GB DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC modules filling every slot for 768 GB total. To increase capacity you must replace existing DIMMs; the platform supports up to 3 TB.

How does the 3.7 GHz turbo frequency behave under load?

Each 16-core Xeon Gold 6130 can reach 3.7 GHz turbo when thermal and power headroom allow; sustained all-core speeds will be lower depending on workload and cooling in the 2U chassis.
