Configuration and Target Use

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built for compute-intensive workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 6148 processors, each running at 2.4 GHz with 20 cores and a 3.7 GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 768 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across 24 slots and eight 800 GB SATA SSDs managed by a PERC H730P RAID controller with battery backup. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies, an X520/I350 quad-port network card and iDRAC9 Enterprise complete the package.

Who Should Consider This and Who Should Not

This server suits organisations running virtualisation clusters, large databases or high-performance computing tasks that benefit from 40 total cores and a large memory footprint. The 24 DIMM slots allow expansion up to the platform maximum of 3 TB. Buyers who need more than eight 2.5-inch drive bays, a different network interface configuration or a 1U form factor should evaluate other platforms.

Storage Controller Decides Fit

The PERC H730P 2 GB controller provides 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA connectivity with support for RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. This determines which drive types and RAID levels are available. The installed eight 800 GB SATA SSDs connect through this controller, so compatibility with the chosen RAID layout is the key specification to verify.

Questions about this item

What rack hardware is required to mount this 2U server?

The unit is a 2U rack server and ships with Ready Rails for standard racks; verify your cabinet depth matches the rail specification before installation.

Can the installed DDR4 2666 MHz modules run alongside slower DDR4 DIMMs I already own?

The system uses 24x 32 GB DDR4 2666 MHz Registered ECC modules; mixing speeds will force all channels to the slowest installed DIMM.

How can I confirm the PERC H730P controller sees all eight 800 GB SSDs after setup?

Open the PERC H730P BIOS or iDRAC9 Enterprise storage view; all eight drives should appear as Ready with the configured RAID level showing Optimal.
