Dual Xeon Gold 6140 2.3GHz Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon Gold 6140 processors, each running at 2.3GHz with 18 cores. It targets organisations that need dense compute for virtualisation, databases or high-performance workloads in a standard rack footprint.

32GB DDR4 with 3TB headroom

The system ships with 32GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory in a 16GB x 2 configuration and supports up to 3TB total capacity. Eight 3.5-inch drive bays connect through a PERC H730P RAID controller over SATA, so storage scales with the workload but no drives are included.

iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management

Integrated iDRAC9 with an Enterprise licence provides full out-of-band control, monitoring and firmware updates without an operating system. The 10GbE 2-port 562T adapter and dual 750W power supplies complete the baseline infrastructure for remote deployment.

Questions about this item

Will the dual Xeon Gold 6140 CPUs work with my existing DDR4 memory modules?

The server uses DDR4 ECC Registered memory; matching speed and rank to the installed 16 GB modules is recommended for stability.

How can I confirm the PERC H730P RAID controller and iDRAC9 Enterprise are functioning after installation?

During POST the H730P BIOS reports detected drives and RAID status; iDRAC9 appears on its dedicated network port and presents the Enterprise licence in the web interface.

The listing says no drives are included — what else must I purchase to complete the build?

You need 3.5" SATA hard drives or SSDs for the eight front bays; rail kits are available on request and additional DDR4 ECC memory can be added up to 3 TB.
