Dual Xeon Gold 6130 2U Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built for compute-intensive workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors, each running at 2.1 GHz with 16 cores. The system includes 768 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across 24 slots. This configuration targets virtualization, database and high-performance computing deployments.

Sustained Multi-Core Throughput

With 32 total cores and a 3.7 GHz turbo frequency, the dual-socket layout maintains high throughput during extended processing tasks. The Intel C620 chipset supports the full memory capacity of 3 TB across all channels. The PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache manages RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 for consistent storage performance. Quad-port networking via the X520/I350 card delivers 2x 1 GbE and 2x 10 Gb SFP+ connectivity.

Redundant Power And Remote Management

Dual 750 W platinum-efficiency power supplies provide hot-swap redundancy for continuous operation. The iDRAC 9 Enterprise module enables out-of-band monitoring and control over a dedicated network interface. Eight 2.5-inch drive bays support SATA and SAS devices with the installed 800 GB SSDs occupying two slots. Ready Rails and a front bezel are included for standard rack installation.

Questions about this item

How loud are the fans when the dual 750 W PSUs and Xeon Gold 6130 CPUs run continuously?

The R740 uses redundant 750 W Platinum supplies and Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors; fan speed scales with thermal load, so sustained full-load operation will raise acoustic output above idle levels.

Which cabling and drive carriers do I need to populate the remaining six 2.5" bays?

The chassis provides eight 2.5" SATA/SAS bays with two occupied by 800 GB SSDs; adding drives requires Dell 2.5" hot-plug carriers and compatible SATA or SAS cables for the PERC H730P controller.

Will my existing DDR4 2666 MHz ECC RDIMMs work alongside the installed 768 GB kit?

The system has 24 DDR4 slots filled with 24×32 GB 2666 MHz Registered ECC modules; any additional memory must match DDR4 2666 MHz Registered ECC specification to operate correctly.
