Dual-Socket 2U Rack Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rackmount server system built around two Intel Xeon Gold 5118 processors, each running at 2.3 GHz with 12 cores. It ships with 128 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across eight 16 GB modules and includes a PERC H730P RAID controller with 2 GB cache. Eight 600 GB 10K SAS hard drives occupy the 2.5-inch drive bays, and redundant 750 W platinum power supplies provide hot-swap redundancy.

Suited For Virtualisation And Database Workloads

This configuration suits environments that need balanced compute and storage throughput, such as virtualisation hosts, database servers or high-performance application tiers. The dual-processor layout and 24 memory slots allow expansion to 3 TB of DDR4. Buyers who require flash storage tiers or higher drive counts than the eight 2.5-inch bays provide should evaluate other platforms.

PERC H730P RAID Controller With 2 GB Cache

The storage subsystem centres on the Dell PERC H730P controller, which supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. Its 2 GB battery-backed cache accelerates write-heavy workloads and protects data during power loss. Confirm that your workloads align with SAS hard-drive latency and the controller’s 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA interface before deployment.

Questions about this item

What does the 128 GB DDR4 memory give me in a 24-slot R740?

The server ships with 128 GB across 8 modules, leaving 16 DIMM slots free for expansion up to the 3 TB maximum supported by the platform.

What throughput does the H730P 12 Gb/s SAS controller cap in practice?

The PERC H730P handles 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA links with 2 GB cache, supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode.

How much rack depth do the included Ready Rails need for this 2U chassis?

Ready Rails are supplied for tool-less mounting in standard 4-post racks; the 2U form factor fits the R740 depth without extra brackets.
