Dual-Socket 2U Server with 512 GB DDR4

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built around two Intel Xeon Silver 4116 processors, each running at 2.1 GHz with 12 cores. It ships with 512 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 16 modules and includes a PERC H730P storage controller with 2 GB cache. Dual redundant 750 W platinum power supplies, iDRAC9 Enterprise, quad-port networking and ready rails complete the package.

Suited to virtualisation hosts needing maximum

This configuration targets workloads that benefit from 24 total cores and large memory capacity, such as hypervisor clusters or database nodes. The eight 2.5-inch SAS bays and H730P controller support RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Buyers who require more than two processor sockets, more than 24 DIMM slots or a different drive interface should evaluate other platforms.

512 GB DDR4 registered ECC across 24 slots

The installed memory uses DDR4 technology at 2400 MHz in a registered ECC layout, filling 16 of the 24 available slots. This leaves eight slots open for future expansion up to the platform maximum of 3 TB. Confirm that your operating system and applications support this memory type and capacity before deployment.

Questions about this item

What rack space and power circuits must I already have to install this 2U server with dual 750 W supplies?

The server occupies 2U of rack height and ships with two redundant hot-swap 750 W power supplies, so you need a 2U slot and two PDU outlets.

Can the PERC H730P controller use the 300 GB 10 K SAS drives already installed alongside any SATA SSDs I might add later?

The H730P supports both SAS and SATA drives, so the factory 300 GB 10 K SAS disks and additional SATA SSDs can coexist on the same controller.

How do I confirm the iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management is reachable after first boot?

Connect the dedicated iDRAC network port, power on the server, and browse to the IP shown on the front LCD or via DHCP; the iDRAC9 Enterprise login page should appear.
