DELL PowerEdge R740 2U rack server, Dual Xeon 6130 2.10 GHz, 256GB DDR4, 64TB SAS

SKU CH-11VX-QTJXE

Dual 16-core Xeon 6130 CPUs, 256GB DDR4 memory and 64TB SAS storage in a 2U rack server with redundant power and iDRAC9 remote management

  • Dual 16-core Xeon Gold 6130 CPUs reach 3.70 GHz turbo for heavy workloads
  • 256GB DDR4 3200MHz memory supports dense virtualization and large datasets
  • 64TB Enterprise Nearline SAS storage on PERC H730 RAID controller with 2GB NV cache
  • Redundant hot-swap power supplies keep critical applications running during replacement
  • iDRAC9 Express remote management enables out-of-band server control and monitoring

2U Rack Server for Virtualisation

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built for dense virtualisation, private cloud and high-performance computing. It ships new with a rail kit and Windows Server 2022 Standard licensed for 16 cores. Dual Xeon Gold 6130 processors and 256GB of DDR4 memory provide the compute foundation for demanding workloads.

Suited for Scale-Out Storage and Compute

This configuration targets organisations that need large-capacity nearline storage alongside redundant power and remote management. Four 16TB enterprise SAS drives deliver 64TB of raw capacity through a PERC H730 RAID controller. Buyers who need a tower chassis, flash-optimised drive bays or GPU-dense slots should evaluate other platforms.

64TB Enterprise SAS Storage Array

The storage subsystem centres on four 3.5-inch 16TB nearline SAS drives spinning at 7.2K RPM, connected via a 12Gb/s PERC H730 controller with 2GB non-volatile cache. This single specification defines whether the server matches a capacity-first, throughput-tolerant deployment model.

Questions about this item

When do the 256GB DDR4 3200MHz DIMMs need to be replaced?

The eight 32GB DDR4 3200MHz modules are rated for continuous server operation; plan replacement only if ECC logs report correctable errors or a DIMM fails POST.

What limits sustained throughput on the PERC H730 with 64TB SAS storage?

The PERC H730 12Gb/s controller with 2GB NV cache and four 7.2K RPM nearline SAS drives will hit the drive spindle speed before the RAID controller saturates.

How loud and hot does the R740 run with dual Xeon 6130 CPUs at full load all day?

Redundant hot-swap power supplies and iDRAC9 fan management keep the 2U chassis within spec; expect typical data-centre noise levels and exhaust temperatures that match the platform thermal design.
