Dual Xeon 6130 2U Rack Server

The DELL PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built for virtualization, private cloud and high-performance computing workloads. It ships with two Xeon Gold 6130 16-core processors running at 2.10 GHz with turbo up to 3.70 GHz. The platform targets businesses that need dense compute and storage in a standard rack footprint.

Pre-Installed Enterprise Storage And RAID

The system includes 7.68 TB of enterprise SSD storage across four 1.92 TB 2.5-inch drives and a PERC H730 12Gb/s RAID controller with 2 GB NV cache. A Broadcom BCM5720 quad-port 1GbE controller and iDRAC9 Express remote management are also integrated. Redundant hot-swap power supplies keep the server running during a module replacement.

Assembly Required For Memory And Drives

Hard drives and memory upgrades are supplied separately and must be installed before deployment. The 256 GB DDR4 kit arrives as eight 32 GB unbuffered modules rated at 3200 MHz. Rail kit hardware is included for rack mounting, but the installer must populate DIMM slots and drive bays correctly to avoid boot or RAID configuration errors.

Questions about this item

What components will need replacement first on the PowerEdge R740?

The dual redundant power supplies are hot-swappable, so a failed unit can be replaced without downtime; the four 1.92 TB enterprise SSDs and eight 32 GB DDR4 modules are field-replaceable if capacity or performance demands change.

Which limit appears first under sustained load on the dual Xeon 6130 configuration?

The 16-core processors can turbo to 3.70 GHz, but prolonged heavy workloads will hit the thermal envelope of the 2U chassis before the PERC H730 RAID controller saturates its 12 Gb/s bandwidth.

How loud and hot does the R740 get when running all day?

Redundant power supplies and iDRAC9 Express monitoring keep temperatures managed, but the 2U form factor relies on high-speed fans that produce noticeable airflow noise during continuous operation.
