Dual-socket Xeon Gold 6130 platform

The PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built around two Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors. Each CPU provides 16 cores at 2.1 GHz with a 3.7 GHz turbo frequency. The system targets organisations that need balanced compute and storage density in a standard rack footprint.

128 GB DDR4 with 3 TB headroom

Eight registered ECC DDR4 modules deliver 128 GB at 2666 MHz across 24 DIMM slots. The C620 chipset supports up to 3 TB, leaving ample room for memory-intensive workloads. Storage is handled by a PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache driving two 800 GB SATA SSDs over a 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA interface.

12 Gb/s SAS/SATA controller ceiling

The H730P caps drive throughput at 12 Gb/s per lane and supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Network I/O uses a quad-port daughter card with two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections. iDRAC 9 Enterprise provides dedicated out-of-band management. Redundant 750 W platinum supplies power the chassis.

Questions about this item

Will my existing 2.5" SATA drives work with the H730P controller in this R740?

Yes, the H730P 2GB controller supports SATA and SAS drives in the eight 2.5" bays, so current 2.5" SATA SSDs or HDDs can be installed and managed through RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 or 60.

How can I verify the two Xeon Gold 6130 CPUs and 128GB DDR4 are recognised after first boot?

Open the iDRAC9 Enterprise interface or enter the system BIOS; both will show 2 processors, 16 cores each at 2.1 GHz with 3.7 GHz turbo, and 128 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across the 24 DIMM slots.

Which items ship in the box and what must I source separately?

The server includes the 2U chassis, 2 Xeon Gold 6130 CPUs, 128 GB DDR4, H730P controller, 2 x 800 GB SATA SSDs, X520/I350 quad-port NIC, iDRAC9 Enterprise, 2 x 750 W PSUs, bezel and ready rails; additional drives, SFP+ modules or memory must be purchased separately.
