Dual-Socket Xeon Gold 6130 Platform

The PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built around two Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors, each running at 2.1 GHz with 16 cores. It targets organisations that need dense compute for virtualisation, databases or high-performance workloads in a standard rack footprint.

64 GB DDR4 With 3 TB Ceiling

The system ships with 64 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across four modules, leaving 20 open slots for expansion up to the 3 TB maximum. The PERC H730P controller manages two 800 GB SATA SSDs and supports additional 2.5-inch drives in the eight-bay chassis, with RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 available.

Redundant Power And Remote Management

Dual 750 W platinum power supplies provide hot-swap redundancy, while iDRAC 9 Enterprise gives full out-of-band control over hardware health and firmware updates. A quad-port network daughter card adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections, and the included sliding rails with front bezel simplify rack installation.

Questions about this item

Will the LGA 3647 socket and Intel C620 chipset accept my existing DDR4-2666 registered ECC modules?

Yes — the R740 has 24 DDR4 slots and runs memory at 2666 MHz, so registered ECC DDR4-2666 DIMMs you already own will install and operate at the rated speed.

How can I verify the PERC H730P controller and both 800 GB SSDs are healthy after installation?

During POST the H730P BIOS shows each SSD model, capacity and RAID state; once the OS loads, OpenManage or the iDRAC9 Enterprise storage dashboard reports controller battery status, drive SMART data and virtual-disk health.

Which items ship in the box and which must be sourced separately?

The server includes 2× Xeon Gold 6130 CPUs, 64 GB DDR4 (4× 16 GB), H730P with battery, 2× 800 GB SATA SSDs, X520/I350 quad-port NIC, iDRAC9 Enterprise, 2× 750 W PSUs, bezel and ready rails; additional drives, memory or GPU cards are not included.
