Dual-Socket 2U Rack Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack-mounted server system built for data-centre workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 6134 processors running at 3.2 GHz with eight cores each, 128 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across eight 16 GB modules, and a PERC H730P RAID controller with 2 GB cache. Eight 600 GB 10 K SAS drives populate the 2.5-inch bays, while a quad-port network daughter card provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC 9 Enterprise complete the package.

Suited For And Not Suited For

This server suits organisations that need a dense, two-socket platform with hardware RAID across eight SAS spindles and out-of-band management via iDRAC 9 Enterprise. The 24 DIMM slots and 3 TB maximum memory capacity allow significant future expansion. It is not suited for buyers who require solid-state storage out of the box, need more than two processor sockets, or want a tower or pedestal form factor instead of a rack-mount chassis.

Storage Controller Decides Fit

The PERC H730P controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode, making it the single specification that determines whether the storage architecture matches the deployment plan. If the workload demands a different RAID feature set or a non-RAID HBA mode, this unit will not meet the requirement.

Questions about this item

How much DDR4 memory can I add to the 24 DIMM slots beyond the 128 GB already installed?

The platform supports up to 3 TB of registered ECC DDR4 across all 24 slots.

What thermal and acoustic load should I expect from the dual 750 W platinum supplies and two 3.2 GHz Xeons running continuously?

Redundant platinum-efficiency power supplies and hot-swap fans keep the 2U chassis within Dell’s thermal envelope for sustained 24/7 operation.

Which cables and drive carriers do I need to populate the eight 2.5-inch SAS bays if they arrive empty?

The unit ships with eight 600 GB 10K SAS drives and the ready rails kit already installed.
