PowerEdge R740 2U dual Xeon server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon Gold 6142 processors running at 2.6 GHz with 16 cores each. It ships with 128 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across eight modules and a PERC H730P storage controller with 2 GB cache. Two 400 GB SATA SSDs are installed in the eight 2.5-inch drive bays. Redundant 750 W platinum power supplies, iDRAC 9 Enterprise, quad-port networking and rails are included.

Suits virtualization hosts and database nodes

This configuration suits teams that need two-socket compute density with hardware RAID and 10 GbE SFP+ connectivity in a 2U form factor. The 16-core CPUs and 128 GB DDR4 support moderate virtualization clusters or SQL workloads. Buyers who need more than 24 DIMM slots, more than eight 2.5-inch bays, or a single-socket platform should look at other platforms.

PERC H730P 2 GB RAID controller

The installed PERC H730P 2 GB controller provides 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA connectivity with RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. Battery-backed cache protects write data during power loss. This controller decides which drive types and RAID levels are supported, so confirm it matches your storage design before purchase.

Questions about this item

Do I need to populate all 24 DDR4 slots to reach the 3TB maximum memory capacity?

The server has 24 DDR4 slots and supports up to 3TB; 128GB is already installed across 8 modules, so you can add more DDR4 RDIMMs or LRDIMMs to scale toward the limit.

Will the PERC H730P controller recognise my existing 2.5-inch SATA drives if I keep them?

Yes, the H730P supports SATA and SAS, so your current 2.5-inch SATA drives will be detected and can be configured in RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 or 60.

How can I confirm the two Xeon Gold 6142 processors are both running at 2.6GHz with 16 cores each after installation?

Check the iDRAC9 Enterprise inventory or the BIOS POST screen; both will show 2 processors, 16 cores per CPU, and a base frequency of 2.6GHz.
