PowerEdge R740 8-bay 3.5-inch server
The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack-mount server that supports up to eight 3.5-inch drives. It ships with one Intel Xeon 6130 processor running at 2.1 GHz, 128 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H730P RAID controller. A 10 GbE two-port 562T adapter and dual 750 W power supplies are also installed.
Suits virtualisation hosts needing dense 3.5-inch
This configuration suits workloads that benefit from high core counts and large memory capacity, such as virtualisation, database or file-serving roles. The single-socket layout leaves room for a second processor if more compute is required later. Buyers who require GPU acceleration or more than eight drive bays should consider a different chassis.
Single Xeon 6130 with 16 cores and 22 MB cache
The installed Xeon 6130 provides 16 cores and 22 MB of cache at a base frequency of 2.1 GHz. This processor choice determines the thread count and memory bandwidth available to the operating system and is the primary factor in deciding whether the server matches the intended workload.

Questions about this item
How can I confirm the PERC H730P RAID controller is recognised after the server posts?
During POST the controller BIOS initialises and displays its firmware version; you can also open the iDRAC9 web interface and verify the controller appears under Storage with the correct driver loaded.
Which components are already installed and which drive parts must be sourced separately?
The unit ships with one Xeon 6130 processor, 128 GB DDR4 ECC registered memory, a PERC H730P RAID controller, dual 750 W power supplies and a 10 GbE 562T two-port adapter; no 3.5″ SATA drives are included.
Should I choose the single-CPU configuration or add a second processor for my workload?
The chassis supports up to two CPUs; the installed Xeon 6130 provides 16 cores at 2.1 GHz, so start with one and add a matching second processor later if your applications need more parallel threads.
