Dual 20-core Xeon Gold 6148 2U server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rackmount server equipped with two Intel Xeon Gold 6148 processors running at 2.4 GHz, each providing 20 cores. It ships with 64 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across four modules. Storage is handled by a Dell PERC H730P 2 GB controller with battery backup supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Two 400 GB SATA 6 Gb/s 2.5-inch enterprise SSDs are installed in the eight-bay chassis.

Suited for virtualisation and database workloads

This configuration suits environments that need high core counts and hardware RAID for mixed read-write workloads such as virtualisation clusters or transactional databases. The quad-port network daughter card provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections, and iDRAC 9 Enterprise enables full remote management. Buyers who need more than 24 memory slots or more than two processor sockets should consider larger platforms, as this model is limited to two CPUs and 3 TB maximum memory.

PERC H730P RAID controller with battery

The storage subsystem centres on the Dell PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache and a battery-backed write cache, which determines the RAID levels available and protects in-flight data during power loss. It manages the installed SATA SSDs and any additional SATA or SAS drives added to the eight 2.5-inch bays. If a workload requires a different RAID feature set or non-RAID pass-through mode, the controller choice is the deciding factor.

Questions about this item

What rack mounting hardware is included so the server can be installed in a standard cabinet?

The server ships with Ready Rails and a front bezel for direct mounting in a standard rack.

Will the PERC H730P controller work with the SATA SSDs already installed?

Yes, the H730P supports both SAS and SATA drives, so the two 400 GB SATA SSDs are fully compatible.

How can I verify the server is running normally after powering it on?

Check the iDRAC 9 Enterprise interface for system health, confirm the PERC H730P reports both SSDs in a healthy RAID state, and watch for the LCD panel to show a normal status code.
