DELL PowerEdge R740 2U rack server Dual Xeon 6130 2.10GHz 256GB 15.36TB

SKU CH-VHXB-JENVJ

2U rack server with dual 16-core Xeon Gold 6130 processors, 256GB DDR4 memory and 15.36TB enterprise SSD storage on PERC H730 RAID

  • Dual Xeon Gold 6130 processors with 16 cores each deliver 2.10 GHz base and 3.70 GHz turbo for heavy workloads
  • 256 GB DDR4 3200 MHz memory across eight 32 GB modules supports dense virtualization and large datasets
  • 36 TB enterprise SSD storage via four 3.84 TB drives provides ultra-fast capacity for software-defined storage
  • PERC H730 RAID controller with 2 GB NV cache ensures data protection and accelerated I/O
  • Redundant power supplies and iDRAC9 Express enable continuous uptime and remote management

Server identity

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built for small business or enterprise environments that need dense virtualization, software-defined storage or high-performance computing. Dual Xeon Gold 6130 processors provide 32 total cores running at 2.10 GHz with turbo up to 3.70 GHz, backed by 256 GB of DDR4 PC4-25600 3200 MHz memory.

Bundled impact

Windows Server 2022 Standard 64-bit covers 16 cores with a single licence, reducing the software stack needed for immediate deployment. The PERC H730 12 Gb/s RAID controller with 2 GB non-volatile cache manages the four 3.84 TB enterprise SSDs, delivering 15.36 TB of protected, hot-swappable storage. Dual redundant power supplies and the iDRAC9 Express remote management module keep the platform running and monitorable during component replacement.

Installation reality

The rail kit is included for standard rack mounting, but drives and memory modules ship separately and must be installed before first boot. Cable routing for the quad-port 1 GbE Broadcom BCM5720 network controller and the RAID controller can be tight in a 2U chassis, so plan the back-panel layout before sliding the server into the cabinet.

Questions about this item

How do I replace the PERC H730 RAID controller battery when it reaches end of life?

The PERC H730 includes 2GB NV cache backed by a battery or flash module; Dell service manuals detail the hot-plug replacement procedure for the specific cache module used in this server.

Which component hits its thermal ceiling first when both Xeon Gold 6130 CPUs sustain 3.70 GHz turbo?

The dual 16-core Xeon Gold 6130 processors share the 2U chassis airflow; under sustained turbo the CPU package temperature typically reaches its throttle point before the 256GB DDR4 memory or 15.36TB SSD array.

What is the typical power draw and fan noise with dual Xeon Gold 6130 CPUs and 15.36TB SSD storage running continuously?

Redundant power supplies feed dual 16-core Xeon Gold 6130 CPUs, 256GB DDR4, four 3.84TB SSDs and a PERC H730; 2U rack fans ramp to high speed under full load, producing noticeable datacentre-level noise.
