DELL PowerEdge R740 8LFF 1x Xeon 6130 128GB DDR4 No Drive

PowerEdge R740 8-bay 3.5-inch server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack-mount server that supports up to eight 3.5-inch drives. It ships with one Intel Xeon 6130 processor running at 2.1 GHz, 128 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H730P RAID controller. A 10 GbE two-port 562T adapter and dual 750 W power supplies are also installed.

Suits virtualisation hosts needing dense 3.5-inch

This configuration suits workloads that benefit from high core counts and large memory capacity, such as virtualisation, database or file-serving roles. The single-socket layout leaves room for a second processor if more compute is required later. Buyers who require GPU acceleration or more than eight drive bays should consider a different chassis.

Single Xeon 6130 with 16 cores and 22 MB cache

The installed Xeon 6130 provides 16 cores and 22 MB of cache at a base frequency of 2.1 GHz. This processor choice determines the thread count and memory bandwidth available to the operating system and is the primary factor in deciding whether the server matches the intended workload.
