Dell PowerEdge R740 2U 8-Bay Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server fitted with two Intel Xeon Silver 4110 processors running at 2.1 GHz, eight cores each, and 128 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots. It includes a PERC H730P RAID controller, eight 300 GB 10K SAS drives, quad-port networking with two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links, iDRAC 9 Enterprise remote management, redundant 750 W platinum power supplies, rails and a front bezel.

Suits dual-socket workloads needing SAS RAID

This configuration suits virtualization hosts, database nodes and compute clusters that require dual-socket performance, hardware RAID across SAS drives and built-in 10 GbE SFP+ connectivity. Buyers who need more than eight 2.5-inch drive bays, a single-processor layout, or a different drive interface should evaluate other models.

Storage controller determines RAID level

The PERC H730P 2 GB controller provides RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode for the eight installed 300 GB SAS drives and any additional SAS or SATA devices.

Questions about this item

What rack space and rail kit does the 2U R740 need for mounting?

The server occupies 2U of rack height and ships with Dell Ready Rails for tool-less installation in standard four-post racks.

How are the eight 300 GB SAS drives and the H730P controller installed, and what step is often missed?

Drives slide into the front 2.5-inch hot-swap bays; the H730P plugs into a dedicated internal slot — remember to connect the controller’s battery backup cable before closing the chassis.

Which components will need replacement first in the R740?

The eight 10K SAS hard drives and the H730P’s RAID battery are the primary wear items; the redundant 750 W power supplies and system fans are also field-replaceable.
