Dell PowerEdge R740 2U Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built around dual Intel Gold 6142 processors, each with 16 cores, and 128GB of DDR4 memory. It ships with four 2TB 7.2K SAS drives managed by a H740P RAID controller. The system includes iDRAC9 Enterprise for remote management.

Dual Gold 6142 16-core configuration

This server suits workloads that need high core counts and large memory capacity, such as virtualisation clusters or database nodes. Buyers who need more than eight 2.5-inch drive bays or who require 10K or 2.4TB SAS drives should consider other configurations.

H740P RAID controller with 4x 2TB 7.2K SAS

The H740P controller and the installed 7.2K SAS drives determine storage throughput and redundancy options for this unit. Verify that the controller feature set matches your RAID level requirements before purchase.

Questions about this item

What rack depth and rail kit do I need to install this 2U server?

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server; the listing states rails are included, so you only need a standard 19-inch rack with enough depth for the chassis.

Can the Intel X550 10Gb RJ45 ports negotiate down to 1Gb with my existing switches?

Yes, the NDC includes 2x 10Gb RJ45 and 2x 1Gb RJ45 ports, so the 10Gb interfaces will auto-negotiate to 1Gb when connected to older Gigabit switches.

How do I verify the H730P RAID controller sees all four 2.4TB SAS drives after first boot?

Enter the iDRAC9 Enterprise web interface or the controller BIOS during POST; both will show the four 2.4TB 10K SAS drives and their RAID status.
