Dual Xeon Silver 6130 2.1GHz 16-core server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack-mount server equipped with two Intel Xeon Silver 6130 processors running at 2.1 GHz. Each CPU provides 16 cores and 22 MB cache for a total of 32 cores across the dual-socket platform. It is designed for virtualisation, database and compute workloads that require high thread counts in a standard rack footprint.

1.5 TB DDR4 with 3 TB headroom and eight 3.5" bays

The system ships with 1536 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory installed across the available DIMM slots, leaving capacity to expand up to the platform maximum of 3 TB. Storage is handled by a PERC H730P RAID controller supporting eight 3.5-inch SATA drive bays; no drives are included so capacity and redundancy can be tailored to the deployment.

iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management

Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller 9 with Enterprise licence provides full out-of-band management, virtual console and automation APIs. A dual-port 10 GbE 562T adapter is fitted for high-throughput network connectivity. Redundant 750 W power supplies are installed and a rail kit is available on request for rack mounting.

Questions about this item

Will the R740’s 3.5-inch drive bays accept my existing SATA hard drives?

Yes, the chassis provides eight 3.5-inch bays wired for SATA and the PERC H730P controller manages them.

How can I confirm the dual Xeon Silver 6130 processors and 1.5TB DDR4 are recognised after first boot?

Open the iDRAC9 Enterprise interface or enter the BIOS; both will show two CPUs at 2.1GHz, sixteen cores each, and the full 1536GB of registered ECC memory.

Does the server ship with drive caddies and rails, or must I order them separately?

The unit includes two 750W power supplies, the PERC H730P RAID card and a 10Gb dual-port 562T adapter; drive caddies and rail kit are not included and must be purchased separately.
