2U rack server with dual Xeon 6130

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server delivered new with a rail kit for installation in standard cabinets. It ships with dual Xeon Gold 6130 processors, each offering 16 cores at 2.10 GHz and a maximum turbo frequency of 3.70 GHz. The system includes 512 GB of DDR4 memory arranged as sixteen 32 GB modules running at 3200 MHz. Eight 2.5-inch enterprise SSDs provide 61.44 TB of total solid-state storage capacity.

Suits virtualization and dense storage workloads

This configuration targets environments that need large memory capacity and high IOPS for virtualization, private cloud or software-defined storage. The PERC H730 RAID controller with 2 GB non-volatile cache and redundant power supplies support continuous operation. Buyers who require GPU acceleration, 25 GbE networking or direct-attached storage interfaces not listed here should evaluate other platforms. The server ships with Windows Server 2022 Standard licensed for 16 cores.

61.44 TB enterprise SSD array decides fit

The eight 7.68 TB enterprise SSDs behind the PERC H730 controller define whether this server matches the storage performance and capacity requirement. Memory and drives are supplied separately and require installation before deployment. Remote management is provided by iDRAC9 Express and networking uses a Broadcom BCM5720 quad-port 1 GbE controller.

Questions about this item

What rack height does the 2U server occupy when the rail kit is installed?

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server, so it uses two rack units of vertical space when mounted with the included rail kit.

Which storage controller must be configured before the eight 7.68TB SSDs appear as usable volumes?

The PERC H730 12Gb/s RAID controller with 2GB NV cache manages the drives; create virtual disks in its BIOS or iDRAC9 before the operating system sees the storage.

How are the sixteen 32GB DDR4 modules arranged for the 512GB total memory?

The 512GB consists of 16 x 32GB DDR4 PC4-25600 3200MHz unbuffered modules, supplied separately and requiring installation into the server DIMM slots.
