Purpose-Built 2U Rack Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack-mount server designed for compute-intensive workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors, each running at 2.1 GHz with 16 cores, and 256 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory. The platform supports up to 3 TB of memory across 24 slots.

Suited For Virtualisation And Database Work

This configuration suits organisations running virtualisation clusters, databases or high-performance applications that benefit from 32 total cores and large memory capacity. The PERC H730P controller provides hardware RAID with battery-backed cache for data protection. Buyers needing solid-state storage or more than eight drive bays should evaluate other platforms.

Eight-Bay 2.5-Inch SAS Chassis

The server includes eight 2.5-inch drive bays populated with 300 GB 10K SAS hard drives connected to the 12 Gb/s PERC H730P controller. This storage layout determines the maximum raw capacity and I/O profile available without adding external enclosures.

Questions about this item

Will the PERC H730P controller recognise the 300GB SAS drives already installed?

The PERC H730P is a 12Gb/s SAS controller that supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60, and the eight 300GB 10K SAS drives are factory-fitted to it.

Can the X520/I350 network daughter card run at 1GbE on my older switch?

The daughter card provides two 1GbE ports and two 10Gb SFP+ ports, so the 1GbE links will negotiate down to your existing switch speed.

How do I confirm the iDRAC9 Enterprise licence is active after first boot?

Open the iDRAC web interface or use the front-panel LCD; the dashboard will display "iDRAC9 Enterprise" and show the licence status as active.
