Server platform and intended use

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack-mount server system built around two Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors, each running at 2.1 GHz with 16 cores. It ships with 64 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots and a PERC H730P storage controller. The chassis provides eight 2.5-inch SAS/SATA drive trays, dual 750 W redundant power supplies, iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management, and a quad-port network daughter card with two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections.

Who this suits and who should look elsewhere

This server suits organisations that need a dense two-socket platform with hardware RAID, out-of-band management, and 10 Gb SFP+ networking in a 2U form factor. Buyers who require more than eight front-accessible drive bays or who need a different storage interface than SAS/SATA should consider other configurations.

Deciding specification

The PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode, and it connects to the eight 2.5-inch SAS/SATA trays. Confirm that your workload fits within this drive-count and RAID capability before ordering.

Questions about this item

Do I need to supply my own 2.5" SAS or SATA drives for the eight trays?

Yes, the eight 2.5" trays are empty and accept SAS or SATA hard drives or SSDs.

Can I keep using my existing SAS or SATA drives with the PERC H730P controller?

The PERC H730P supports both SAS and SATA interfaces, so compatible drives will work.

How do I confirm the two Xeon Gold 6130 CPUs and 64 GB of DDR4 are detected after installation?

Check the iDRAC9 Enterprise interface or the system BIOS; both will show two 16-core processors at 2.1 GHz and 64 GB of registered ECC DDR4.
