Dell PowerEdge R740 2U Server

This Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server system built for data-centre workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors, each running at 2.1 GHz with 16 cores. The chassis holds 256 GB of DDR4 memory across eight 32 GB modules and includes a PERC H730P controller with battery backup.

Suits virtualisation hosts and database clusters

The dual-socket design and 24 DIMM slots support up to 3 TB of memory for dense virtualisation. Eight 2.5-inch drive bays populated with 2.4 TB SAS drives deliver high-capacity local storage. Buyers who need more than two processors or a different drive bay count should evaluate other platforms.

Dual Xeon Gold 6130 16-core CPUs

The installed pair of Xeon Gold 6130 CPUs provides 32 total cores at a base frequency of 2.1 GHz with 3.7 GHz turbo. This processor configuration defines the server’s compute ceiling and cannot be upgraded beyond two sockets. Match the core count and clock speed to your licensing and threading requirements.
