Dell PowerEdge R740 2U dual Xeon server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon Gold 6148 processors running at 2.4 GHz with 20 cores each. It includes 512 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across 16 modules. Storage is handled by a PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache driving eight 800 GB SATA SSDs. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC 9 Enterprise provide redundancy and remote management.

Suits virtualisation hosts needing high core count

This configuration fits workloads that benefit from 40 total cores and half a terabyte of RAM such as database servers, virtualisation clusters or compute-intensive applications. The eight-bay 2.5 inch chassis and H730P controller support RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Buyers who need more than two processor sockets or storage interfaces beyond SATA and SAS should consider other platforms.

Eight 800 GB SATA SSDs on a PERC H730P controller

The installed storage consists of eight Dell enterprise 800 GB SATA 6 Gb/s 2.5 inch solid-state drives connected to the PERC H730P 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA controller with battery-backed cache. This drive count and controller determine the usable capacity and RAID options available immediately.

Questions about this item

Does the server ship with rails and bezel, or must I order them separately?

Ready Rails and a front bezel are included with the 2U chassis, so no extra rack-mount kit is required.

The system has 24 DIMM slots but only 512 GB installed — which capacity modules should I add to reach higher totals?

The 512 GB ships as sixteen 32 GB DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC modules; add matching 32 GB sticks to fill the remaining eight slots and scale toward the 3 TB maximum.

What throughput can the eight 800 GB SATA SSDs deliver through the PERC H730P controller in a typical RAID 10 array?

The H730P 2 GB controller manages the eight SATA 6 Gb/s SSDs with RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60, providing 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA bandwidth to the backplane for sustained read/write performance.
