Dual Xeon Gold 6134 server

The DELL PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built for compute-intensive workloads. Two Intel Xeon Gold 6134 processors deliver 16 cores at 3.2GHz with 3.7GHz turbo. 128GB of DDR4 2666MHz registered ECC memory fills eight of 24 slots. Eight 300GB 10K SAS drives sit behind a PERC H730P controller.

Sustained load behaviour

Redundant 750W platinum power supplies keep both CPUs and all drives fed during long jobs. The H730P battery-backed cache protects write throughput when RAID rebuilds run for hours. iDRAC 9 Enterprise lets you watch thermals and power draw remotely without interrupting the host. Quad-port networking separates storage, management and application traffic.

Pre-order checklist

Confirm your rack accepts 2U depth and that rails match the included Ready Rails kit. Verify SAS backplane cabling matches the eight 2.5-inch bays. Ensure switch ports support 1GbE and 10Gb SFP+ for the X520/I350 daughter card. Plan memory expansion within the 24-slot, 3TB DDR4 limit.
