Server identity

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built for compute-intensive workloads. Two Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors deliver 16 cores each at 2.10 GHz with 3.7 GHz turbo capability. The system includes 768 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots and eight 1.2 TB 10K SAS drives managed by a PERC H730P controller.

Fit and limits

This configuration suits virtualization clusters, database tiers and high-performance computing nodes that need dense core counts and large memory capacity. Quad-port networking with dual 1 GbE and dual 10 GbE SFP+ connects to existing LAN and storage fabrics. Buyers who need more than two processor sockets or who require a 1U form factor should evaluate other platforms.

Deciding specification

The PERC H730P 2 GB controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 with battery-backed cache for data protection. Eight 2.5-inch drive bays are populated with SAS hard drives, and the backplane accepts SAS or SATA media. This storage controller and drive combination determines whether the server matches your redundancy and performance requirements.

Questions about this item

How much power do the dual 750 Watt PSUs draw when the R740 runs continuously?

The server includes redundant 750 Watt Platinum efficiency power supplies; actual draw depends on workload and configuration.

Which rails and bezel are included so the R740 fits my existing rack?

Ready Rails and a front bezel are supplied, allowing standard 2U rack mounting.

Can the H730P controller manage my older SAS drives alongside the installed 1.2TB 10K disks?

The PERC H730P supports SAS and SATA drives in RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through modes.
