Dell PowerEdge R740 2U Rack Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built for compute-intensive workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors, each running at 2.1 GHz with 24 cores. The system includes 128 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across eight 16 GB modules. Eight 800 GB SATA SSDs and a PERC H730P RAID controller provide high-speed storage redundancy.

Suited for virtualisation and database clusters

This server fits environments that need dense processing power and redundant power supplies in a 2U form factor. The dual 10 Gb SFP+ and dual 1 GbE ports support high-throughput networking. Buyers who need GPU acceleration should look at a different platform because this unit has no GPU risers. Organisations requiring more than 3 TB of memory or more than two sockets will need a larger chassis.

PERC H730P RAID controller with 2 GB cache

The storage subsystem centres on the Dell PERC H730P controller with 2 GB of battery-backed cache. It supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. The eight 2.5-inch SATA SSDs connect through a 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA backplane. This controller decides whether the array can deliver the IOPS and data protection your workload requires.

Questions about this item

What rack rails are included for mounting this 2U server?

Ready Rails are included with the chassis for installation in a standard rack.

Will the PERC H730P controller recognise the eight installed 800 GB SATA SSDs without extra cables?

The eight 800 GB SATA SSDs connect directly to the H730P controller through the 2.5-inch drive backplane.

How can I confirm both Xeon Platinum 8160 processors are active after power-on?

iDRAC 9 Enterprise will display two 24-core CPUs at 2.1 GHz in the system inventory once the server completes POST.
