Ready-to-deploy 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server fitted with two Intel Xeon Silver 4116 processors, each running at 2.1 GHz with 12 cores. It ships with 64 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across four 16 GB modules and eight 800 GB SATA SSDs managed by a PERC H730P 2 GB RAID controller. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies, an Intel X520/I350 quad-port network daughter card and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management are included with rails and bezel.

Who this suits and who should look elsewhere

This configuration suits teams that need a balanced compute-and-storage platform for virtualisation, database or analytics workloads in a standard 2U footprint. The installed dual-processor layout and 24 DIMM slots allow growth up to 3 TB of DDR4 memory. Buyers who need more than 3 TB of RAM or who require drive interfaces beyond SATA and SAS should look at alternative platforms, as the storage controller and installed SSDs are SATA-based.

The spec that decides fit

The PERC H730P controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode, and it manages the eight 800 GB SATA SSDs already installed. If your workload demands that specific RAID flexibility with SATA media, this server matches the requirement; if you need a different RAID feature set or non-SATA media, the controller choice makes this unit unsuitable.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the PERC H730P controller shows all eight 800GB SSDs and the configured RAID after first boot?

Open the controller BIOS or iDRAC9 Enterprise storage view; it should list all eight 800GB SATA SSDs and report the RAID level you selected as optimal.

What ships with the server and what must I source separately?

The unit includes two Xeon Silver 4116 CPUs, 64GB DDR4 (four 16GB modules), eight 800GB SATA SSDs, H730P 2GB controller, X520/I350 quad-port network card, iDRAC9 Enterprise, two 750W PSUs, rails and bezel.

Which memory configuration should I choose if I need more capacity later?

The system has 24 DDR4 slots with four 16GB modules installed; add registered ECC DDR4 2400MHz DIMMs in matched sets to reach the 3TB maximum.
