Built for multi-threaded workloads

This 2U rack server ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 6134 processors, each running at 3.2 GHz with eight cores. The system includes 512 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across 16 modules. It targets organisations that need dense compute and large memory capacity in a standard rack footprint.

Rail kit and cabling simplify rack mounting

Slide rails and a front bezel are included so the chassis can be secured in a cabinet without extra parts. Two hot-swap 750 W platinum power supplies provide redundancy and can be replaced while the server runs. The PERC H730P controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through; forgetting to initialise the virtual disks before installing an OS is the most common setup error.

Dual CPUs and ECC memory sustain throughput

With both sockets populated the platform delivers 16 physical cores and 32 threads for parallel tasks such as virtualisation or database work. Registered ECC DDR4 corrects single-bit errors on the fly, preventing data corruption during long runs. Redundant power supplies and hot-swap drive bays let administrators replace failed components without shutting down the workload.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the dual Xeon Gold 6134 processors are running at 3.2 GHz with turbo to 3.7 GHz after installation?

During POST the BIOS will display two Intel Xeon Gold 6134 CPUs at 3.2 GHz base and 3.7 GHz turbo. You can also verify the 16 cores total in iDRAC9 Enterprise or the operating system hardware inventory.

Which components are included and which must be purchased separately for this R740?

Included: 2U chassis with 8 x 2.5" drive bays, 2x Xeon Gold 6134, 512 GB DDR4 (16x 32 GB), PERC H730P 2 GB, 2x 800 GB SATA SSDs, X520/I350 quad-port NIC, iDRAC9 Enterprise, 2x 750 W PSUs, bezel and rails. No additional parts are required for basic operation.

Which memory capacity should I choose if I need room to expand beyond the installed 512 GB?

The system has 24 DDR4 slots and supports up to 3 TB. With 16 slots already populated by 32 GB modules, 8 slots remain free for future upgrades.
