Dell PowerEdge R740 2U rack server
The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built for virtualisation and database workloads. It ships with two Intel Gold 6126 processors, each running at 2.6 GHz with 12 cores. The system includes 256 GB of DDR4 memory across 16 modules.
H730P RAID controller with 4 x 480 GB SATA SSDs
The PERC H730P controller manages the four installed 480 GB SATA SSDs in a hardware RAID configuration. This controller decides whether the storage performance and redundancy meet the application requirements. The chassis provides eight 2.5-inch drive bays for future expansion.
iDRAC9 Enterprise and redundant 1100 W power
The bundled iDRAC9 Enterprise licence enables full remote management, including virtual console and lifecycle automation. Redundant 1100 W power supplies protect against single-supply failure. Rails, bezel and power cords are included for immediate rack installation.

Questions about this item
What does 256 GB of DDR4 memory mean for workloads on this server?
256 GB of DDR4 memory across 16 modules at 2666 MT/s supports virtualization and database workloads with room for many concurrent virtual machines or large in-memory datasets.
What does the H730P RAID controller cap in practice?
The H730P RAID controller manages the four 480 GB SATA SSDs and supports additional drives up to the chassis limit of eight 2.5-inch bays with hardware RAID levels.
What does the 2U rack height and eight 2.5-inch drive bays need to fit or mount?
The 2U chassis requires a standard 19-inch rack with 2U of vertical space and includes rails for mounting; eight 2.5-inch drive bays are populated with four SATA SSDs.
