PowerEdge R740 2U dual-Xeon server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server fitted with two Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors, each running at 2.1 GHz with 16 cores. It ships with 768 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across 24 slots and a PERC H730P 2 GB RAID controller. Eight 2.4 TB 10K SAS hard drives occupy the 2.5-inch bays, while dual 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise provide redundancy and remote management.

Suits compute-dense workloads, not all-flash needs

This configuration targets virtualisation hosts, database clusters and high-performance computing tasks that benefit from 32 total cores and large memory capacity. The 10K SAS drives deliver consistent rotational speed for mixed read-write patterns. Buyers who require an all-flash array or solid-state storage from the outset should look elsewhere, as the installed drives are mechanical hard disks.

768 GB DDR4 across 24 slots decides fit

The system arrives with 768 GB of DDR4 memory installed in every available slot, leaving no room for expansion without removing modules. Maximum supported capacity is 3 TB, but reaching it requires replacing the existing 32 GB DIMMs. Verify that the current memory layout matches your workload before purchasing.

Questions about this item

Will the eight 2.4 TB SAS drives and H730P controller work with my existing 12 Gb/s SAS backplane?

The server ships with eight 2.4 TB 10K SAS drives and a PERC H730P 12 Gb/s controller that supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through, so it will integrate with a compatible 12 Gb/s SAS backplane.

How can I confirm both Xeon Gold 6130 processors and all 768 GB of DDR4 memory are recognised after installation?

Check the iDRAC9 Enterprise System > Inventory page or press F2 during POST to open the BIOS System Setup; both will list the two 16-core CPUs and the twenty-four 32 GB DDR4 2666 MHz modules.

Which items are included in the box and which must be sourced separately?

The shipment includes the 2U chassis with bezel, ready rails, two 750 W platinum power supplies, the X520/I350 quad-port network daughter card, iDRAC9 Enterprise licence, eight 2.4 TB SAS drives, H730P controller and 768 GB DDR4 memory. SFP+ transceivers and operating-system licences are not included.
