Dell PowerEdge R740 2U dual-socket server

This 2U rackmount system ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 6148 processors, each running at 2.4 GHz with 20 cores, giving 40 cores total. It includes 128 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across eight 16 GB modules and a Dell PERC H730P 2 GB RAID controller. Two 800 GB SATA SSDs and quad-port networking with two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports are factory installed.

Suited for virtualisation hosts needing many cores

The dual 20-core CPUs and 24 DIMM slots support up to 3 TB of DDR4, so dense VM workloads fit comfortably. The H730P handles RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 with battery-backed cache. Buyers who need more than two sockets or storage protocols beyond SATA and SAS should evaluate alternative architectures.

Storage controller determines drive compatibility

The PERC H730P is a 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA controller with 2 GB cache and supports pass-through mode. It manages the installed 800 GB SATA SSDs and any additional 2.5-inch drives in the eight-bay chassis. Confirm the controller matches your drive protocol and RAID requirements before purchase.

Questions about this item

Will the 2.5" SATA SSDs and PERC H730P controller work with my existing 2.5" SAS drives?

The PERC H730P supports both SAS and SATA drives on the same backplane, so your existing 2.5" SAS drives can be mixed with the installed 800GB SATA SSDs.

How can I verify the dual Xeon Gold 6148 CPUs and 128GB DDR4 are detected correctly?

During POST the system will display two 20-core processors at 2.40GHz and 128GB of DDR4 2666MHz ECC memory; iDRAC9 Enterprise also shows the full inventory remotely.

What ships with the R740 and what must I source separately?

The unit includes the 2U chassis, bezel, Ready Rails, two 750W PSUs, X520/I350 quad-port network card, PERC H730P with battery, two 800GB SSDs and 128GB DDR4; additional drives or memory are not included.
