2U Rack Server with Dual Xeon Gold 6134

The DELL PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server built for dense storage workloads. Two Intel Xeon Gold 6134 processors run at 3.2 GHz with eight cores each. The system ships with 768 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots. Twenty-four 2.5-inch drive trays support SATA and SAS drives behind a PERC H730P controller.

Storage-focused teams needing maximum drive

This platform suits software-defined storage, virtual desktop infrastructure and service-provider environments that prioritise local capacity. The fixed two-socket design and lack of installed drives mean buyers who need a ready-to-run array with populated storage or a different network interface mix should look elsewhere.

24-bay 2.5-inch chassis with PERC H730P RAID

The defining specification is the 24-bay 2.5-inch front panel paired with the PERC H730P 2 GB controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through. This combination determines whether the server can deliver the local storage throughput and redundancy your workload requires.

Questions about this item

How do I install the Xeon Gold 6134 processors into the LGA 3647 sockets, and what step is most often missed?

Align the processor triangle with the socket corner, lower the carrier straight down without tilting, then torque the four captive screws in a cross pattern to the specified value; the step most often missed is seating the carrier evenly before tightening.

What maintenance will the PERC H730P 2GB controller battery need later?

The controller uses a replaceable lithium battery that backs the 2GB cache; plan to swap it every three to five years or when iDRAC 9 Enterprise reports a degraded battery status.

What limit appears first on the 1100 W redundant power supplies under sustained full load?

The platinum-efficiency 1100 W units share the load equally; the first limit reached is the combined 1100 W output ceiling, after which the system will throttle or shut down to protect the supplies.
