Silver 2U rack server front with drive bays and rail kit

DELL

DELL PowerEdge R740 2U rack server, Dual Xeon 6130 2.10 GHz, 512GB DDR4, 61.44TB SSD, Rail Kit

SKU CH-PSS5-K10DW

A 2U rack server with dual 16-core Xeon Gold 6130 processors at 2.10 GHz, 512 GB DDR4 memory, 61.44 TB of enterprise SSD storage across eight 7.68 TB drives, PERC H730 RAID controller.

  • Dual 16-core Xeon 6130 CPUs reach 3.70 GHz turbo for heavy workloads
  • 512 GB DDR4 3200 MHz memory scales virtualization and databases
  • 44 TB enterprise SSD storage across eight 7.68 TB drives
  • PERC H730 RAID controller with 2 GB cache protects data integrity
  • Redundant power and iDRAC9 remote management keep systems running

Dual Xeon 6130 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built for virtualization, private cloud and high-performance computing. Dual Xeon Gold 6130 processors deliver 32 total cores with a 3.70 GHz turbo ceiling. It targets IT teams that need dense compute in a standard rack footprint.

512GB DDR4 and 61.44TB SSD capacity

Sixteen 32GB DDR4 modules run at 3200 MHz, giving ample headroom for large VM fleets and in-memory databases. Eight 7.68TB enterprise SSDs provide 61.44TB of flash storage behind a PERC H730 RAID controller with 2GB NV cache. The 12Gb/s controller and quad 1GbE ports become the bottleneck before the drives saturate.

Upgrade from single-socket or HDD-based platforms

Moving from a single-socket server doubles core count and memory channels, cutting VM consolidation ratios. Replacing spinning disks with the SSD array removes latency spikes for database and VDI workloads. The jump is worth it when current hardware forces workload sprawl across multiple boxes.

Questions about this item

How will the 3200MHz DDR4 memory operate with older DDR4 modules I already own?

The server uses 512GB of PC4-25600 3200MHz DDR4; mixing speeds will cause all memory to run at the lowest common frequency.

Which iDRAC9 indicator confirms the PERC H730 RAID controller is healthy after installation?

In iDRAC9 Express, open the Storage view — the PERC H730 should show "Optimal" with all 8 x 7.68TB drives online and the 2GB NV cache reported as operational.

Are the 8 enterprise SSDs and 16 memory modules pre-installed, or must I fit them myself?

The 61.44TB SSD set (8 x 7.68TB 2.5-inch drives) and 512GB DDR4 (16 x 32GB modules) are supplied separately; installation into the 2U chassis is required.
