Purpose-built 2U rack server

This new Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2-socket, 2U rack server designed for workloads that benefit from accelerator cards and storage scalability. It ships with dual Intel Xeon Gold 5118 processors, each running at 2.30 GHz with 12 cores, and 128 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 8 modules. The system includes a PERC H730P 2 GB storage controller with battery-backed cache and eight 400 GB SATA SSDs installed in the 2.5-inch drive bays.

Fit for virtualisation and database clusters

The configuration suits organisations running virtualised environments, database clusters or compute-intensive applications that can use the 24 total cores and 3 TB maximum memory capacity. Redundant 750 W platinum power supplies, iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management and a quad-port network daughter card with two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports are included. Buyers who need more than eight 2.5-inch drive bays or who require a different storage protocol should evaluate alternative configurations.

Storage controller determines RAID flexibility

The PERC H730P controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode, and its 2 GB cache with battery backup protects data during power loss. This single component defines the RAID levels and cache protection available for the eight installed SSDs and any additional SATA or SAS drives added to the chassis.

Questions about this item

Can the existing 128GB DDR4 memory be expanded alongside the two Xeon Gold 5118 CPUs?

Yes, the server has 24 DDR4 slots and supports up to 3TB total, so the installed 8x 16GB modules leave 16 slots free for further expansion.

How can I confirm the PERC H730P controller and the eight 400GB SSDs are operating correctly after installation?

Use the iDRAC9 Enterprise interface to view controller health, RAID status and each SSD’s SMART data; the front-panel LCD also shows system posture at a glance.

Are the ready rails, front bezel and the X520/I350 quad-port network card included, or must any of them be purchased separately?

The listing states ready rails, front bezel and the X520/I350 daughter card with two 1GbE and two 10Gb SFP+ ports are all included in the box.
