Dual-socket 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack-mount server fitted with two Intel Xeon Gold 6134 8-core processors running at 3.2 GHz with a 3.7 GHz turbo frequency. It ships with 512 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory installed across 16 of the 24 available slots. The system includes a PERC H730P 2 GB RAID controller, eight 2.5-inch SAS/SATA drive trays, an Intel X520/I350 quad-port network card with two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports, iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management, redundant 750 W platinum power supplies, rails and a front bezel.

Suited for virtualisation and database workloads

This configuration targets environments that need high core counts, large memory capacity and hardware RAID across multiple drive bays. The dual Xeon Gold 6134 CPUs and 512 GB of ECC DDR4 support dense virtual-machine deployments and in-memory databases. Buyers who need more than 3 TB of total system memory or who require a different drive-bay count must select a different chassis.

512 GB DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory installed

The server arrives with 512 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory populated in 16 DIMM slots, leaving 8 slots free for expansion up to the 3 TB maximum. This memory type and speed are fixed by the processor memory controller and the installed modules; mismatched generations or non-ECC modules will not function.

Questions about this item

How much power do the dual 750 Watt PSUs draw when the Xeon Gold 6134 CPUs run at 3.2GHz all day?

The server includes redundant 750 Watt Platinum efficiency power supplies designed for continuous operation with the installed 3.2GHz 8-core processors.

Which drives must I supply to use the 8-bay 2.5-inch chassis and PERC H730P controller?

You need to provide your own 2.5-inch SAS or SATA hard drives or SSDs; the eight trays are empty and the H730P supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60.

Will my existing DDR4 2666MHz ECC modules work alongside the 16 installed 32GB sticks?

The system has 24 DDR4 slots and currently holds 16x 32GB registered ECC modules at 2666MHz; matching registered ECC DDR4 can fill the remaining eight slots.
