Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 2U rack server
The Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built for compute-intensive workloads. It ships with two Intel Gold 6126 processors, each with 12 cores at 2.6GHz and 19.25M cache. Memory is 64GB DDR4 across four 16GB PC4-2666 modules. Storage uses eight 7.68TB SAS SSDs managed by an H730P controller.
Suited to database and virtualisation clusters
This configuration suits teams running databases or virtualisation clusters that need high core counts and large flash capacity. Eight 2.5-inch drive bays are fully populated, so buyers who want more internal storage must look elsewhere. The server includes iDRAC9 Enterprise for remote management and up to eight PCIe Gen 3 slots for add-in cards.
H730P RAID controller with eight SAS SSDs
The H730P RAID controller manages the eight 7.68TB SAS SSDs and provides hardware RAID for data protection. Network connectivity comes from an Intel X550 NDC with two 10Gb RJ45 and two 1Gb RJ45 ports. Redundant 1100W power supplies, rails, bezel and power cords are included.

Questions about this item
What rack space and power circuits must I have ready for this 2U server with dual 1100W supplies?
Reserve 2U of rack height and provide two independent PDU feeds so each 1100W supply can run on its own circuit for full redundancy.
Can I keep using my existing PCIe Gen 3 add-in cards in the eight available slots?
Yes, the chassis offers up to eight PCIe Gen 3 slots so current Gen 3 cards will install and operate at their rated speed.
How do I confirm the H730P controller sees all eight 7.68TB SAS SSDs after first boot?
Open the iDRAC9 Enterprise interface, navigate to the storage overview, and verify that eight physical disks appear with the correct 7.68TB capacity each.
