Purpose-built 2U server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a two-socket rack server built for compute-intensive workloads. Dual Intel Xeon Silver 4116 processors deliver 24 cores at 2.1 GHz with 3.0 GHz turbo. Sixty-four gigabytes of DDR4 registered ECC memory and a PERC H730P RAID controller support demanding applications.

Fit and alternatives

This platform suits virtualization clusters, database nodes and high-performance storage tiers that need twelve drive bays and redundant 750 W power supplies. Buyers who need more than two processors or a different drive form factor should evaluate other chassis.

Deciding specification

The server is populated with two 400 GB SATA SSDs behind the H730P controller. If that capacity or interface does not match the storage plan, the system will require reconfiguration before deployment.

Questions about this item

Will the 2.1 GHz 12-core Xeon Silver 4116 CPUs work with my existing DDR4 2400 MHz ECC memory?

Yes, the two installed Xeon Silver 4116 processors support DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC, matching the 64 GB already in the system.

How can I verify the PERC H730P controller is healthy after installation?

Check the controller status in the iDRAC9 Enterprise interface and confirm the battery-backed cache shows optimal with no degraded virtual disks.

What drives and rails are included, and what must I add for a full eight-bay configuration?

The server ships with two 400 GB SATA SSDs, ready rails and a front bezel; six additional 2.5-inch SATA or SAS drives are needed to populate all eight bays.
