SKU CH-ZQTD-X13AF

A 2U rack server with dual 16-core Xeon Gold 6130 processors at 2.10 GHz, 512 GB DDR4 memory and 96 TB of 3.5-inch enterprise SAS storage

  • Dual Xeon Gold 6130 processors with 16 cores each and 3.70 GHz turbo for heavy workloads
  • 512GB DDR4 3200MHz memory across 16 modules supports dense virtualization and large datasets
  • 96TB enterprise SAS storage using eight 12TB 7.2K RPM drives for high-capacity nearline data
  • PERC H730 RAID controller with 2GB NV cache protects data and accelerates array performance
  • Redundant power supplies and iDRAC9 Express remote management keep the server running and manageable

2U Rack Server for Virtualization

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server designed for dense virtualization, private cloud deployments, and high-performance computing workloads. It ships with dual Xeon Gold 6130 processors, each providing 16 cores at a 2.10 GHz base frequency with turbo up to 3.70 GHz. The system includes 512GB of DDR4 memory and 96TB of enterprise nearline SAS storage across eight 12TB drives. Windows Server 2022 Standard licensing for 16 cores is included.

Installation Requirements and Common Issues

Hard drives and memory upgrades are supplied separately and require installation before deployment. The server includes a rail kit for rack mounting, but physical installation in a cabinet is the buyer's responsibility. Dual redundant power supplies support hot-swap replacement, reducing downtime during maintenance. The PERC H730 RAID controller with 2GB non-volatile cache must be configured for the desired storage topology prior to operating system installation.

Storage Capacity Decides Fit

The 96TB raw capacity from eight 12TB 3.5-inch 7.2K RPM nearline SAS drives is the primary factor in determining suitability. This volume targets workloads needing large sequential throughput rather than low-latency random I/O. Buyers who need significantly more capacity or all-flash performance should consider alternative configurations. The 12Gb/s SAS interface and PERC H730 controller define the storage connectivity ceiling.
