  • Dual 16-core Xeon Gold 6130 CPUs reach 3.70 GHz turbo for demanding workloads
  • 256GB DDR4 3200MHz memory handles large virtualization and database tasks
  • 72TB enterprise SSD storage across four 7.68TB drives delivers ultra-fast I/O
  • PERC H730 RAID controller with 2GB NV cache protects data and accelerates arrays
  • Redundant power supplies and iDRAC9 remote management keep critical systems running

Dual Xeon 6130 Server for Virtualization

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built for small businesses and enterprises that need dense compute for virtualization, private cloud or high-performance computing. Dual Xeon Gold 6130 processors deliver 32 total cores at 2.10 GHz with turbo up to 3.70 GHz. The system includes 256GB of DDR4 memory and 30.72TB of enterprise SSD storage.

Upgrade From Single-Socket or HDD Platforms

Moving from a single-socket server or spinning-disk storage to this dual 16-core configuration with 4 x 7.68TB SSDs cuts consolidation ratios and latency for software-defined storage and traditional applications. The PERC H730 RAID controller with 2GB NV cache protects the array while the redundant power supplies keep workloads running during a module swap. The jump is worth it when core count, memory bandwidth and all-flash speed become the bottleneck.

Rail Kit Included, Drives and DIMMs Ship Separate

The server arrives with a rail kit for standard rack mounting, but the 8 x 32GB DDR4 modules and four 2.5-inch SSDs are packaged separately and must be installed before deployment. Common issues include seating the memory in the correct channel order for the dual-CPU topology and initializing the RAID volume on the H730 before the OS install. iDRAC9 Express provides remote console access to monitor the bring-up process.

Questions about this item

What rack height and mounting hardware does this R740 include?

The server is a 2U rack unit and ships with a rail kit for mounting in a standard rack.

Which components arrive uninstalled and what is the first installation step?

The 256GB DDR4 memory and the four 7.68TB SSDs are supplied separately; install the memory modules into the DIMM slots before adding the drives.

What part will need replacement first and how is it swapped?

The dual redundant power supplies are hot-swappable, so a failed unit can be removed and replaced without powering down the server.
