Dell PowerEdge R740 2U server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built for virtualisation and database workloads. It ships with a single Intel Gold 6142 processor delivering 16 cores at 2.6 GHz and 128 GB of DDR4 memory. The H740P RAID controller manages two 2 TB 7.2K NL SAS drives. Remote administration is handled by iDRAC9 Enterprise.

Tool-less rails and front drive access

The chassis includes sliding rails for rack mounting and supports up to eight 2.5-inch drive bays accessible from the front. Memory slots and PCIe Gen 3 expansion cards are reached by removing the top cover with thumb screws. Cable routing channels guide power and data leads away from airflow paths. The 1100 W redundant power supplies are hot-swappable from the rear.

128 GB DDR4 and dual 2 TB SAS

The installed 128 GB of DDR4 suits moderate consolidation and in-memory databases. Two 2 TB 7.2K SAS drives provide redundant capacity for operating systems and light application data. Workloads needing higher IOPS or larger datasets will require additional faster drives or external storage. Eight drive bays and eight PCIe Gen 3 slots give room to grow.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the Intel Gold 6142 16-core processor is recognised after powering on the R740?

Check the iDRAC9 Enterprise interface during POST; it will display the 2.6 GHz 16-core Gold 6142 and the 128 GB DDR4 memory total.

Which components are included with the R740 and which must be sourced separately?

The server ships with chassis, bezel, rails, power cords, one Gold 6142 CPU, 128 GB DDR4, two 2 TB 7.2K SAS drives, H740P controller, dual 1100 W PSUs and Intel X550 10 Gb/1 Gb NICs; additional drives or PCIe cards are not included.

Should I choose the 2 TB 7.2K SAS drives or a faster 10K option for this R740?

The configured unit already contains two 2 TB 7.2K NL SAS drives; the 8-bay 2.5" chassis supports higher-speed SAS drives if your workload demands lower latency.
