DELL PowerEdge R740 2U Rack Server 2x Xeon Gold 6134 3.2GHz 8-Core 512GB DDR4 H730P 2x 300GB SAS

Dual-Socket 2U Rack Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built around two Intel Xeon Gold 6134 processors, each running at 3.2 GHz with 8 cores and a 3.7 GHz turbo. It ships with 512 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across 16 slots, leaving 8 slots open for expansion up to 3 TB. The platform targets organisations that need dense compute and storage in a standard rack footprint.

512 GB DDR4 With 3 TB Headroom

The installed 512 GB of DDR4 memory handles large virtualisation clusters, in-memory databases and heavy multi-threaded workloads comfortably. When demand grows beyond the current configuration, the 24 DIMM slots support a maximum of 3 TB, giving substantial headroom before a platform change is required. Storage starts with two 300 GB 10K SAS drives managed by a PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache, supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode for additional drive arrays.

Redundant Power And Remote Management

Dual 750 W platinum-efficiency power supplies provide hot-swap redundancy, while the iDRAC 9 Enterprise module delivers out-of-band remote management for deployment and monitoring without physical access. Network connectivity comes from an Intel X520/I350 daughter card offering two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports. The server includes ready rails and a front bezel for straightforward rack installation, and the 8-bay 2.5" chassis accepts further SAS or SATA drives as capacity needs increase.
