Dell PowerEdge R740 2U server

This Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon Gold 6134 processors running at 3.2 GHz with eight cores each. It ships with 512 GB of DDR4 memory installed across 16 modules and a Dell PERC H730P storage controller. Eight 400 GB SATA SSDs fill the 2.5-inch drive bays, and dual 750 W power supplies provide redundancy.

Suits virtualisation and database workloads

The dual-socket design and 24 DIMM slots support up to 3 TB of DDR4, making this platform suitable for memory-intensive virtualisation clusters or database engines. Buyers who need more than eight 2.5-inch drive bays, more than two processor sockets, or a different memory type should look elsewhere.

512 GB DDR4 installed capacity

The system arrives with 512 GB of registered ECC DDR4 already populated, using 16 of the 24 available slots. This figure determines whether the server meets immediate capacity requirements or whether additional modules must be purchased before deployment.

Questions about this item

Does the 12 Gb/s PERC H730P controller limit SSD throughput compared to the drives' native 6 Gb/s SATA link?

The PERC H730P provides a 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA interface, so the installed 6 Gb/s SATA SSDs run at their full native speed without controller bottleneck.

What physical mounting hardware is included for rack installation?

Dell Ready Rails and a front bezel are included for tool-less mounting in a standard rack enclosure.

How is the 512 GB DDR4 memory populated across the 24 slots, and what is the common installation mistake?

Memory is installed as 16 × 32 GB modules; the frequent error is not balancing DIMMs evenly across both processors' memory channels for optimal performance.
