DELL PowerEdge R740xd 2U rack server 2x Xeon Gold 6134 3.2GHz 8-core 768GB DDR4 24x 400GB SSD H730P

Dual Xeon Gold 6134 compute density

The PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server built around two Intel Xeon Gold 6134 processors running at 3.20 GHz with 8 cores each. It ships with 768 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across 24 slots. The platform targets software-defined storage, service-provider workloads and virtual desktop infrastructure where high core count and large memory capacity matter.

From single-socket or smaller memory footprints

Moving from a single-socket server or a system with less than 768 GB of RAM adds a second Xeon Gold 6134 and doubles the memory channels. The jump is worthwhile when workloads scale beyond one processor’s thread count or when virtual machines exceed the prior memory ceiling. The board supports up to 3 TB total, so headroom remains for future expansion.

24-bay 2.5" storage with PERC H730P

Twenty-four 2.5-inch SATA bays are populated with 400 GB enterprise SSDs behind a Dell PERC H730P 2 GB controller that handles RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through. Dual 1100 W platinum power supplies and an Intel X520/I350 quad-port network daughter card with two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports provide redundancy and connectivity. iDRAC 9 Enterprise handles remote management. Rails and bezel are included.
