Dell PowerEdge R740 2U Server
The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server powered by two Intel Silver 4210R processors, each with 10 cores at 2.4 GHz. It ships with 32 GB of DDR4 memory in a two-module configuration and eight 960 GB SAS SSDs managed by an H730P RAID controller. Remote management is handled by iDRAC9 Enterprise.
Suits virtualisation hosts needing dense 2.5-inch
Organisations running virtualised workloads that benefit from eight hot-swap bays and dual 10 Gb Ethernet ports will find the chassis well matched. Buyers who want more storage capacity than eight drives provide or who require PCIe Gen 4 expansion slots should look at alternative platforms.
Rails and bezel are included for standard rack
The unit fits a conventional four-post rack using the supplied rails and ships with redundant 1100 W power supplies already installed. The only common issue is verifying that the H730P firmware matches the SSD firmware before deploying arrays, as mismatched versions can delay initial configuration.

Questions about this item
What rack space and rails are required to mount the 2U R740 chassis?
The server occupies 2U of rack height and the rails are included in the box.
Can the Intel X550 10Gb RJ45 ports negotiate down to 1Gb for older switches?
Yes, the NDC provides two 10Gb RJ45 and two 1Gb RJ45 ports that auto-negotiate speed.
How do I confirm the H730P sees all eight 960GB SAS SSDs after installation?
Open the iDRAC9 Enterprise interface or the H730P BIOS utility and verify all eight drives appear in the physical disk list.
