Dual-socket Xeon 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors running at 2.1 GHz with 16 cores each. It ships with 128 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across 24 slots. The system includes a PERC H730P storage controller and quad-port networking with two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ interfaces. iDRAC 9 Enterprise provides remote management.

Check rack depth power and drive bays

Verify that your rack can accommodate a 2U chassis with ready rails and that redundant 750 W power supplies match your PDU connectors. The server offers eight 2.5-inch SAS/SATA drive bays but no drives are installed so you must supply compatible disks. Ensure your network infrastructure supports SFP+ modules for the 10 Gb ports and that cooling capacity matches the dual-processor thermal load.

Controller rails bezel and remote management

The PERC H730P controller enables RAID 0 1 5 6 10 50 60 and pass-through modes with a 2 GB cache battery. Ready rails and a front bezel are included for immediate rack mounting. iDRAC 9 Enterprise delivers out-of-band management including virtual console and lifecycle automation without requiring an operating system. No operating system or hypervisor is pre-installed.
