Dell PowerEdge R740 2U rack server

This new Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built for virtualisation, database and compute-intensive workloads. It ships with two Intel Gold 6132 processors, each running at 2.6GHz with 14 cores and 19.25M cache. The system includes 64GB of DDR4 memory in a 4x 16GB PC4-2666 configuration. Eight 1.2TB 10K SAS drives and an H730P RAID controller provide high-speed local storage.

Suits teams needing dense 2U compute

Organisations that require integrated 10Gb Ethernet will benefit from the Intel X550 NDC with two 10Gb RJ45 and two 1Gb RJ45 ports. Buyers who need more than eight 2.5-inch drive bays or an internal optical drive should consider other platforms. Workloads requiring GPU acceleration are not supported by the standard configuration. The fixed 64GB memory capacity limits applications that demand larger in-memory datasets.

Deciding spec: eight 2.5-inch drive bays

The chassis provides exactly eight 2.5-inch bays populated with 1.2TB 10K SAS drives managed by the H730P controller. This layout determines the maximum raw capacity and RAID options available without adding external enclosures. If the storage footprint must exceed eight drives, this server cannot meet the requirement. The included 1100W redundant power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise complete the baseline infrastructure.

Questions about this item

Do I need a rack cabinet with 2U of free space to install the R740?

Yes, the server is a 2U rack chassis and requires a standard 19-inch rack with at least 2U of vertical clearance. The included rails mount directly to the rack posts.

Can the Intel X550 10Gb RJ45 ports negotiate down to 1Gb speeds for my existing switches?

The NDC provides 2x 10Gb RJ45 and 2x 1Gb RJ45 ports. The 10Gb ports will auto-negotiate to 1Gb when connected to slower switches.

How do I confirm the H730P RAID controller sees all eight 1.2TB SAS drives after power-on?

During boot, press the indicated key to enter the H730P configuration utility. It will list each of the eight 1.2TB 10K SAS drives and their RAID status.
