Rack Server for Dense Compute

The Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 fits into a 2U rack space and delivers dual Intel Silver 4210R processors, each with 10 cores at 2.4GHz. With 512GB of DDR4 memory installed across 16 modules of 32GB PC4-2666, it targets virtualisation hosts, database nodes and high-throughput application tiers that need strong multi-thread performance in a compact form factor.

Eight-Bay Chassis with H730P RAID

The chassis provides eight 2.5-inch drive bays; two 960GB SATA SSDs are installed and managed by an H730P RAID controller. Network connectivity comes from an Intel X550 NDC offering two 10Gb RJ45 and two 1Gb RJ45 ports, while up to eight PCIe Gen 3 slots allow additional controllers or accelerators. Redundant 1100W power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management are included, along with rails, bezel and power cords.

Verify Rack Depth and PCIe Plans

Confirm your rack depth can accommodate the 2U chassis and that the eight 2.5-inch bay layout matches your storage density requirements. Ensure the PCIe Gen 3 slot count and physical length suit any add-in cards you intend to install. The system ships with no optical drive, so plan for USB or network-based media if local installation media are required.

Questions about this item

What PCIe generation do the eight expansion slots on the R740 use, and what bandwidth does that limit each slot to?

The R740 provides up to eight PCIe Gen 3 slots, so each slot is limited to Gen 3 signalling rates.

What drive form factor and bay count does the R740 chassis support for internal storage?

The chassis fits eight 2.5-inch drives in its front bays, and the server ships with two 960GB SATA SSDs installed.

How is the H730P RAID controller installed in the R740, and which step is often missed?

The H730P plugs into a dedicated internal storage slot; the step often missed is connecting its super-capacitor module to preserve cache data during power loss.
