Configuration Overview

The Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built for virtualisation and database workloads. It ships with two Intel Gold 6132 processors, each offering 14 cores at 2.6GHz, and 512GB of DDR4 memory across 16 modules.

Fit and Alternatives

This system suits organisations that need dense compute and 10Gb Ethernet in a 2U form factor. Buyers who require more than eight 2.5-inch drive bays should evaluate alternative chassis designs.

Storage Decider

Six 800GB SAS SSDs are installed behind an H730P RAID controller with eight 2.5-inch bays total. The available bay count and controller type determine whether the remaining capacity meets your redundancy and performance targets.

Questions about this item

Which rails and power cords must I already have to install this 2U R740 chassis?

The server ships with rails and power cords included, so no extra mounting hardware or cables are required for basic installation.

Will the Intel X550 10Gb RJ45 ports negotiate down to 1Gb on my existing switches?

Yes, the NDC provides two 10Gb RJ45 and two 1Gb RJ45 ports, so the 10Gb links will auto-negotiate to 1Gb when connected to older switches.

How do I confirm the H730P RAID controller sees all six 800GB SAS SSDs after power-on?

Open the iDRAC9 Enterprise interface or the controller BIOS during POST; both will list each 800GB SAS SSD and show the configured virtual disks.
