2U rack server with dual Xeon Gold 6134 processors

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack-mount server built for data-centre workloads. Two Intel Xeon Gold 6134 CPUs run at 3.2GHz, each providing eight cores and 24.75MB cache. The system ships with 128GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and supports up to 3TB total capacity.

Eight 3.5-inch drive bays

The chassis accepts up to eight 3.5-inch SATA drives, though no drives are installed. A Dell PERC H730P hardware RAID controller manages the backplane, giving flexibility for capacity or redundancy configurations. Dual 750W power supplies and an iDRAC9 Enterprise licence provide remote management and power redundancy.

128GB DDR4 ECC registered memory installed

The installed memory uses DDR4 ECC registered modules; other DDR generations will not fit. Buyers needing a different capacity or speed must source compatible DDR4 ECC registered DIMMs. The server includes a 10GbE two-port 562T adapter for high-throughput networking.

Questions about this item

What drive interface does the PERC H730P controller support for the eight 3.5-inch bays?

The PERC H730P controller connects the eight 3.5-inch bays through a SATA interface.

What are the physical dimensions and weight of the R740 chassis?

The chassis measures 36 x 24 x 10 inches and weighs 40 pounds.

How is the 10 GbE 562T adapter installed, and what step is often missed?

Seat the 562T adapter in the dedicated PCIe slot and attach the internal cable; the step often missed is enabling the ports in iDRAC9 before the OS loads.
