Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 2U Server
The Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Silver 4210R processors running at 2.4 GHz, each with 10 cores. It ships with 128 GB of DDR4 memory in an 8 x 16 GB configuration at 2666 MT/s. Storage is handled by an H730P controller managing eight 300 GB 10K SAS drives in 2.5-inch bays. Remote management is provided by iDRAC9 Enterprise.
Suited for dense virtualisation
This server suits environments that need dual-socket compute, hardware RAID and 10 GbE networking in a compact 2U form factor. Buyers who need more than eight drive bays or who require an optical drive should evaluate alternative platforms. The 1100 W redundant power supplies and included rails simplify deployment in standard racks.
Eight 300 GB 10K SAS drives on H730P
The storage subsystem delivers eight 300 GB 10K SAS spindles behind a PERC H730P RAID controller with 2 GB cache. This combination determines usable capacity, IOPS and RAID-level options for the workload. Confirm that the total raw capacity and spindle speed meet application requirements before purchase.

Questions about this item
What rack depth and rail kit do I need for the 2U PowerEdge R740 chassis?
The R740 is a 2U rack server that ships with sliding rails; verify your cabinet depth matches the rail specification before mounting.
How are the eight 300GB 10K SAS drives and H730P controller configured during initial setup?
Insert each 2.5-inch drive into the front bays, then use the H730P BIOS utility to create virtual disks before installing the operating system.
When should I replace the 1100W redundant power supplies or the eight 16GB DDR4 DIMMs?
Replace a power supply if the iDRAC9 Enterprise console reports a fault, and swap DIMMs only when memory diagnostics show correctable or uncorrectable errors.
