2U rack server with dual Xeon Gold 6134

This DELL PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built for data-centre workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 6134 processors at 3.2 GHz, each with eight cores, and 256 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory. The PERC H730P RAID controller manages eight 300 GB 10K SAS drives in hot-swap bays. Redundant 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management are included.

Suited for virtualisation clusters needing SAS

The dual-socket design and 24 memory slots support up to 3 TB of DDR4, making it a fit for virtualisation hosts, database nodes or high-throughput storage tiers. The quad-port X520/I350 daughter card provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links for converged traffic. Buyers who need solid-state primary storage or more than eight drive bays should evaluate other platforms.

Eight 300 GB 10K SAS drives on PERC H730P

The storage subsystem centres on eight 2.5-inch 300 GB 10 000 RPM SAS drives connected to the H730P controller with 2 GB cache and battery backup. RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 are supported along with pass-through mode. This drive count and spindle speed determine usable capacity and random I/O performance for the intended workload.

Questions about this item

How do I confirm the PERC H730P controller sees all eight 300 GB SAS drives and the RAID array is healthy after power-on?

During POST the H730P BIOS lists each 300 GB SAS drive and the configured RAID level; iDRAC9 Enterprise then shows a green status for every physical disk and the virtual disk in its storage dashboard.

Which items ship with the server and which must be sourced separately?

The box contains the 2U chassis with two Xeon Gold 6134 3.2 GHz CPUs, 256 GB DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory, PERC H730P 2 GB controller, eight 300 GB 10K SAS drives, X520/I350 quad-port network card, iDRAC9 Enterprise, two 750 W redundant PSUs, ready rails and front bezel; nothing else is required for basic operation.

Should I choose a configuration with more memory slots populated or add modules later to reach the 3 TB maximum?

The system arrives with eight 32 GB DDR4 modules filling 8 of the 24 slots, leaving room to add registered ECC DDR4 sticks up to the 3 TB limit when workload demands grow.
