Dual-socket Xeon 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 fits two Intel Xeon Gold 6142 processors, each with 16 cores at 2.6 GHz, into a 2U rack chassis. It ships with 64 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots and a PERC H730P controller driving two 800 GB SATA SSDs. The system targets virtualisation hosts, database nodes and compute clusters that need dense CPU capacity in a standard rack footprint.

Sustained load behaviour

Dual 750 W platinum power supplies and redundant hot-swap cooling keep both CPUs at their 2.6 GHz base clock during long-running workloads. The 3.7 GHz turbo is available when thermal headroom allows, but extended multi-threaded jobs will settle at the rated frequency. The H730P controller’s 2 GB cache and battery-backed write-back help maintain consistent storage latency under continuous mixed I/O.

Installation and common issues

Tool-less ReadyRails mount the 2U chassis in standard four-post racks without extra hardware. Memory must be installed in matched sets per Dell’s population rules; mismatched DIMMs will halt POST. The PERC H730P requires its battery to be seated and charged before RAID arrays become write-back capable. Network daughter card seating should be verified if SFP+ links fail to negotiate.

Questions about this item

How loud and hot does the dual 750 Watt redundant power supply setup run under continuous load?

Dual 750 Watt platinum power supplies provide redundant hot-swap power for 24/7 operation.

Which cabling and drive carriers are required to populate the remaining six 2.5 inch bays?

The chassis holds eight 2.5 inch SATA/SAS bays; two are filled with 800GB SSDs and the PERC H730P controller supports the rest.

Can the PERC H730P controller manage older SATA drives alongside the installed 800GB SSDs?

The H730P handles SATA and SAS drives in RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 or pass-through mode.
