Dell PowerEdge R740 2U Rack Server Dual Xeon 6130 2.10 GHz 512GB DDR4 96TB SAS Rail Kit

2U Rack Server for Virtualisation

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack-mount server supplied with a rail kit. It runs dual Xeon Gold 6130 processors, each with 16 cores at 2.10 GHz and a 3.70 GHz turbo. The system includes 512GB of DDR4 PC4-25600 3200MHz unbuffered memory across 16 modules. Storage comprises 96TB of enterprise 3.5-inch nearline SAS drives in an 8 x 12TB configuration. Hard drives and memory upgrades are included separately and require installation.

Suited for Dense Workloads, Not Compact Spaces

This server suits organisations running dense software-defined storage, traditional applications, virtualisation, private cloud or high-performance computing. The quad-port 1GbE Broadcom BCM5720 controller and PERC H730 RAID controller with 2GB NV cache support demanding I/O. Hot-swappable redundant power supplies keep critical applications online during maintenance. Buyers needing a tower form factor, a smaller footprint or integrated graphics should consider alternatives. Remote management via iDRAC9 Express simplifies administration.

Build Requirements: Rack Space and Assembly

Integration requires a standard 2U rack aperture and rails, which are included. The PERC H730 controller manages the SAS array, freeing the CPUs for compute tasks. Dual processors and 512GB of memory provide headroom for large virtual machine counts. Redundant power supplies connect to separate circuits for resilience. The quad-port network controller links directly to existing 1GbE infrastructure without extra cards. Assembly of the drives and memory modules is necessary before deployment.
