Dual-Socket 2U Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon Gold 6134 processors, each running at 3.2 GHz with eight cores. It ships with 512 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across sixteen modules. The system targets organisations that need dense compute and memory capacity in a standard rack footprint.

Storage And Network Limits

The PERC H730P controller supports SAS and SATA drives with RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60, plus pass-through mode. Two 400 GB SATA SSDs are installed in the eight-bay 2.5-inch chassis. Networking is handled by an Intel X520/I350 daughter card providing two 1 GbE ports and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports, capping wired throughput at those speeds.

Build And Daily Operation

Redundant 750 W platinum power supplies and hot-swap drive bays allow component replacement without downtime. The iDRAC 9 Enterprise module gives full remote management access for monitoring and firmware updates. Included ready rails and a front bezel simplify rack mounting and physical security in the data centre.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 512 GB DDR4 configuration or add more memory later?

The server ships with 512 GB across 16 DIMM slots, leaving 8 slots free for expansion up to the 3 TB maximum.

What does the 3.2 GHz Xeon Gold 6134 clock mean for real workloads?

Each of the two 8-core processors runs at 3.2 GHz base with a 3.7 GHz turbo boost, giving 16 cores and 32 threads for parallel tasks.

How does the PERC H730P controller limit the installed 400 GB SATA SSDs?

The H730P provides 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA bandwidth and hardware RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60, so the SATA SSDs operate at their native 6 Gb/s link speed.
