2U Rack Server with Dual Xeon Gold 6134

This Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built for compute-intensive workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 6134 processors running at 3.2 GHz, each providing 8 cores. The system includes 128 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across eight modules.

Suits Virtualisation and Database Workloads

The dual-processor layout and 24 memory slots support up to 3 TB of DDR4, making it a fit for virtualisation hosts or database servers. Buyers who need more than two physical CPUs or storage interfaces beyond SAS and SATA should look at other platforms.

PERC H730P Controller with Eight 1.2 TB SAS Drives

Storage is handled by a Dell PERC H730P 2 GB controller that supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. Eight 2.5-inch 1.2 TB 10K SAS drives are installed, delivering high-throughput redundancy for critical data.

Questions about this item

What SAS speed does the PERC H730P controller support for the installed drives?

The PERC H730P is a 12Gb/s SAS/SATA controller, so the eight 1.2TB 10K drives run at up to 12Gb/s each.

What rack depth clearance do the included Ready Rails need?

The sliding Ready Rails mount in standard 4-post racks and require enough depth for the 2U chassis plus cable bend radius at the rear.

How is the iDRAC9 Enterprise licence activated after the server is racked?

Connect the dedicated iDRAC network port, set a static IP through the front LCD or BIOS, then log in to the web interface — the Enterprise licence is factory-installed and requires no extra key entry.
