Purpose-built 2U rack server

This Dell PowerEdge R740 delivers a dual-processor platform in a 2U form factor for compute-intensive workloads. Two Intel Xeon Gold 5118 processors provide 24 cores at 2.3 GHz with 3.2 GHz turbo for parallel tasks. The system targets virtualization, database and high-performance computing deployments that demand dense processing capacity.

Thermal design and power redundancy

Redundant 750 Watt Platinum-efficiency power supplies maintain operation during a single-unit failure. Hot-swap capability allows replacement without downtime while the 2U chassis directs airflow across dual CPUs, memory and eight drive bays. The Intel C620 chipset and registered ECC DDR4 memory contribute to stable operation under sustained load.

Integrated management and connectivity

iDRAC 9 Enterprise enables remote firmware updates, power control and console access over a dedicated network interface. The Intel X520/I350 daughter card adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports for flexible fabric attachment. Ready Rails and a front bezel are included for immediate rack mounting and physical security.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 8x 2.4TB SAS drives into the 2.5" bays and what step is often missed?

Slide each drive into a bay until the carrier clicks; the step often missed is pressing the release latch fully so the drive locks into the SAS backplane.

What maintenance will the PERC H730P controller battery need later?

The 2GB cache battery on the H730P should be checked annually and replaced if the controller reports a degraded or failed battery status.

At what point does the 750W redundant power supply become the limiting factor under sustained load?

With two 750W Platinum PSUs the system can draw up to 750W continuously; sustained loads beyond that will trip the redundancy limit.
