Purpose-built density

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server equipped with dual Xeon Gold 6130 16-core processors running at 2.10 GHz with turbo up to 3.70 GHz. It ships with 512 GB of DDR4 PC4-25600 3200 MHz unbuffered memory across sixteen 32 GB modules and 15.36 TB of enterprise SSD storage on eight 1.92 TB 2.5-inch drives. The platform targets virtualization, software-defined storage, private cloud and high-performance computing workloads.

Build integration

The chassis includes a rail kit for standard rack mounting and hot-swappable redundant power supplies that allow replacement without downtime. A PERC H730 12 Gb/s RAID controller with 2 GB NV cache manages the drive array, while a Broadcom BCM5720 quad-port 1 GbE BASE-T rNDC handles network connectivity. Memory and drives are supplied separately and require installation before deployment. Remote administration is provided by iDRAC9 Express.

Thermal and power profile

Redundant power supplies share the load and maintain operation if one unit fails, supporting continuous uptime for critical applications. The 2U form factor uses forced-air cooling across the dual-socket processor complex and dense memory population. Under typical virtualization or storage workloads the system draws power from both supplies in a balanced configuration, with fan speeds adjusting to inlet temperature and component utilisation.

Questions about this item

What is the maximum turbo frequency the dual Xeon Gold 6130 processors can reach under sustained load?

Each Xeon Gold 6130 can boost up to 3.70 GHz when thermal and power headroom allow.

How loud and hot does the chassis get when both 16-core CPUs and all eight SSDs run continuously?

Redundant hot-swap power supplies and the 2U airflow design keep temperatures stable; fan speed ramps with load but stays within data-centre norms.

Which infrastructure must already be in place so the included rail kit can mount the 2U server?

A standard four-post rack with square-hole or threaded-hole posts accepts the supplied rail kit for secure installation.
