Dual Xeon Gold 6244 Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack-mount server fitted with two Intel Xeon Gold 6244 processors running at 3.6 GHz. It ships with 384 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H730P RAID controller. The chassis provides eight 3.5-inch drive bays for SATA storage, while a 10 GbE 562T dual-port adapter handles network traffic. Remote management is provided by iDRAC9 Enterprise, and dual 750 W power supplies are installed.

Sustained load behaviour

Dual 8-core processors and 24.75 MB of combined cache allow the system to maintain high throughput across parallel workloads such as virtualisation clusters or database services. The H730P controller offloads RAID parity calculations, keeping CPU cycles available for application threads. Redundant power supplies and updated firmware reduce the risk of interruption during extended compute runs. Thermal design supports continuous operation at rated speeds without throttling.

Pre-order checklist

Confirm that your rack can accommodate a 36 x 24 x 10 inch enclosure weighing 40 units and that power circuits can deliver sufficient current for dual 750 W supplies. Verify that the PERC H730P RAID firmware meets your array requirements and that the 10 GbE 562T adapter matches your switch port types. Ensure you have compatible 3.5-inch SATA drives ready, as no storage is included. Check iDRAC9 licensing aligns with your management workflow.

Questions about this item

How loud does the R740 run when both 6244 Gold CPUs stay at 3.6 GHz all day?

The 2U chassis uses high-flow fans that spin up under sustained load; expect noticeable airflow noise in a quiet office, but typical for a rack-mounted server.

Which drive caddies and cables must I already own to populate the eight 3.5-inch bays?

The eight LFF bays accept standard Dell 3.5-inch caddies with SATA backplane connectors; no drives or caddies are included.

Will my existing PERC H730P RAID arrays import directly into this R740 controller?

Yes, the installed PERC H730P reads existing H730P virtual disks, so foreign-config import works without data loss.
