Dell PowerEdge R740 2U Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built for compute-intensive workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 6134 processors running at 3.2 GHz with eight cores each. The system includes 256 GB of DDR4 memory across 24 slots and a PERC H730P storage controller managing eight 2.4 TB SAS drives. Dual 750 W power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management complete the package.

Suitable For And Alternatives

This server suits organisations running virtualised environments, databases or high-performance applications that benefit from dual-socket Xeon performance and hardware RAID. The eight 2.5-inch drive bays and quad-port network daughter card provide ample I/O for dense deployments. Buyers who need more internal drive bays or a different storage interface should evaluate other platforms.

Deciding Specification

The installed PERC H730P controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 with a 2 GB cache and battery backup. This hardware RAID capability determines whether the server can meet your data-protection and performance requirements without adding a separate controller card.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 2.5" SAS drives into the 8-bay front panel, and which step is commonly missed?

Slide each drive into a bay until the latch clicks, then verify the PERC H730P BIOS sees all eight 2.4TB drives before configuring RAID.

What component will need replacement first during long-term operation?

The PERC H730P controller battery typically requires replacement after several years to keep write-back cache protected.

What thermal or power limit appears first when both Xeon Gold 6134 CPUs run at 3.7GHz Turbo continuously?

The dual 750W platinum power supplies set the ceiling; sustained all-core turbo can draw enough power to trigger throttling before the cooling system reaches its limit.
