Dual Xeon Gold 6134 Server

The DELL PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built for compute-intensive workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 6134 processors, each running at 3.2 GHz with 8 cores and a 3.7 GHz turbo frequency. The system targets datacentres and enterprises that need dense processing power in a standard rack footprint.

512GB DDR4 Registered ECC Memory

This unit comes populated with 512GB of DDR4 2666MHz Registered ECC memory across 16 modules, leaving 8 of the 24 total slots free for expansion. The Intel C620 chipset supports up to 3TB maximum capacity. Buyers who need more memory than 512GB can add modules, but those requiring a different memory generation or non-ECC DIMMs cannot use this platform.

Ready Rails and Hot-Swap Components

The server includes sliding rails and a front bezel for straightforward rack mounting. Eight 2.5-inch SAS drive bays and dual 750W redundant power supplies are hot-swappable, simplifying maintenance. The PERC H730P controller manages RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60. Installers should verify rack depth and airflow clearance, as neither dimension is provided in the specifications.

Questions about this item

What does 3.2 GHz mean when both Xeon Gold 6134 CPUs are under load?

Each of the two 8-core Xeon Gold 6134 processors runs at a 3.2 GHz base frequency and can reach 3.7 GHz turbo, giving 16 physical cores of Intel Xeon performance for compute-intensive workloads.

What does the PERC H730P 12 Gb/s SAS controller cap in practice?

The Dell PERC H730P 2 GB controller connects eight 600 GB 10 K SAS drives at 12 Gb/s and supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 plus pass-through mode for direct disk access.

What clearance and rails does the 2U R740 need to mount in a rack?

The chassis occupies 2U of rack height, includes Ready Rails for tool-less installation, and ships with a front bezel; redundant 750 W platinum power supplies are hot-swappable from the rear.
