Dual-socket 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server fitted with two Intel Xeon Gold 5118 processors, each running at 2.3 GHz with 12 cores. It ships with 64 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across four modules and eight 600 GB 10K SAS hard drives. A PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache manages RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Redundant 750 W platinum power supplies, iDRAC 9 Enterprise, quad-port 1 GbE and 10 Gb SFP+ networking, rails and bezel complete the package.

Suits dual-socket compute density

This configuration targets workloads that benefit from 24 total cores and up to 3 TB of DDR4 across 24 DIMM slots, such as virtualisation hosts, database nodes or high-performance computing clusters. The eight 2.5-inch drive bays and 12 Gb/s SAS backbone support storage-heavy applications. Buyers who need a single-socket platform, lower power draw or more than eight internal drive bays should evaluate alternative platforms.

PERC H730P RAID controller

The installed PERC H730P provides 2 GB of battery-backed cache and supports SAS and SATA drives in RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. This controller determines which drive types and RAID levels are available without additional hardware. Verify that your storage plan matches these supported RAID modes and the SAS interface before purchase.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the PERC H730P controller and both Xeon Gold 5118 processors are detected after first boot?

Open the iDRAC9 Enterprise web interface or press F2 during POST to enter System Setup; both CPUs and the H730P with its 2 GB cache should appear in the hardware inventory.

Which items ship inside the chassis and which must be purchased separately?

The unit includes 2 Xeon Gold 5118 CPUs, 4 x 16 GB DDR4 RDIMMs, the H730P controller with battery, 8 x 600 GB 10K SAS drives, X520/I350 quad-port network card, 2 x 750 W PSUs, bezel and rails. Additional memory, drives or GPU cards are not included.

Should I choose the 64 GB configuration or add more DDR4 modules for virtualization workloads?

The board has 24 DDR4 slots and supports up to 3 TB; the installed 64 GB uses only 4 slots, leaving 20 free for expansion when VM density requires more capacity.
