Dell PowerEdge R740 2U Server for Virtualisation

The Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built around a single Intel Gold 6148 processor with 20 cores running at 2.4 GHz. It ships with 128 GB of DDR4 memory across eight 16 GB modules and four 1.2 TB 10K SAS drives managed by an H730P RAID controller. The chassis provides eight 2.5-inch drive bays and up to eight PCIe Gen 3 slots for expansion cards.

Suited for Database and Virtualisation Hosts

This configuration fits buyers who need a dual-socket capable chassis populated with one high-core-count CPU and redundant 1100 W power supplies. Remote management is handled by iDRAC9 Enterprise and networking includes two 10 Gb RJ45 plus two 1 Gb RJ45 ports. Buyers who require a second processor, more than four drives at purchase, or an internal optical drive should consider other platforms.

Single Gold 6148 CPU Limits Maximum Thread Count

The server arrives with only one Intel Gold 6148 processor installed, delivering 20 cores and 40 threads. The motherboard supports a second compatible CPU, but that upgrade is not included. If the target workload demands higher concurrent thread capacity out of the box, this specific unit will not meet that requirement without an additional processor purchase.

Questions about this item

What network cables are needed to use the Intel X550 10Gb RJ45 ports on the R740?

Standard Cat6a or Cat7 patch cables with RJ45 connectors will carry 10Gb Ethernet over the two 10Gb ports and the two 1Gb ports on the NDC.

Can the H730P RAID controller manage the four installed 1.2TB 10K SAS drives together with existing 2.5-inch SAS drives I keep?

Yes, the H730P supports mixed SAS drive capacities and speeds across the 8-bay backplane, so older 2.5-inch SAS drives can join the same array.

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

Connect a management cable to the dedicated iDRAC port, then browse to the IP shown on the front LCD; the login screen confirms Enterprise features are licensed.
