Dell PowerEdge R740 2U Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built for demanding workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 6134 processors running at 3.2 GHz with 8 cores each. The system includes 256 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across 24 slots. Dual 800 GB SATA SSDs and a PERC H730P controller provide storage and RAID flexibility.

Suited for virtualisation and database hosts

This server fits organisations running virtualised environments or database applications that benefit from dual-socket compute and large memory capacity. The redundant 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise simplify remote management. Buyers who need more than two processors, direct-attached GPU accelerators, or storage interfaces beyond SATA and SAS should evaluate other platforms.

Dual Xeon Gold 6134 processors define capacity

Two 8-core Xeon Gold 6134 CPUs at 3.2 GHz set the processing ceiling for this configuration. The LGA 3647 sockets are fully populated, so no further CPU upgrades are possible. Memory can expand to 3 TB using the remaining DDR4 slots. The PERC H730P supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 modes for the installed SATA SSDs.

Questions about this item

What rail kit is included for mounting the 2U PowerEdge R740 in a standard rack?

Ready Rails are included with the server for tool-less installation in a standard 4-post rack.

In what order should the two Xeon Gold 6134 processors and the 256GB DDR4 memory be installed?

Install both processors first, then populate the 24 DIMM slots following the memory configuration guide for 8x 32GB modules.

When should the PERC H730P controller battery be replaced to maintain RAID cache protection?

The battery on the H730P 2GB controller should be replaced when iDRAC9 reports a degraded or failed battery status.
