Dual Xeon Gold 6134 2U Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rackmount server system populated with two Intel Xeon Gold 6134 processors running at 3.20 GHz with eight cores each. It ships with 768 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across all twenty-four slots and eight 400 GB SATA solid-state drives managed by a PERC H730P 2 GB RAID controller. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies, an Intel X520/I350 quad-port network daughter card, iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management, rails and bezel complete the unit.

Virtualisation Hosts Not Storage Arrays

This configuration suits organisations that need a balanced compute platform for virtualisation, database or high-performance computing workloads where the dual-socket core count and large memory capacity are primary requirements. Buyers who need more storage bays than the eight 2.5-inch drive slots provide should look at a different chassis.

PERC H730P RAID Controller

The installed Dell PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode, defining the data-protection and performance envelope for the eight SATA SSDs.

Questions about this item

Which storage capacity should I choose among the installed 400GB SSDs?

All eight drive bays are populated with 400GB SATA SSDs, giving a fixed 3.2TB raw capacity; there are no alternative capacities to select for this configuration.

What does the 3.2GHz clock mean once the server is running workloads?

Each Xeon Gold 6134 runs at a 3.2GHz base frequency and can reach 3.7GHz turbo under load across its eight cores.

What interface does the PERC H730P use and what throughput does it cap at?

The controller connects via 12Gb/s SAS/SATA, limiting drive throughput to that 12Gb/s link speed.
