Dual-socket 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack-mounted server system equipped with two Intel Xeon Gold 6142 processors, each running at 2.6 GHz with 16 cores. It includes 128 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory and a Dell PERC H730P storage controller with 2 GB cache. Eight 400 GB SATA SSDs populate the front drive bays, and dual 750 W platinum power supplies provide redundancy.

Virtualisation hosts and database nodes

This configuration suits workloads that benefit from high core counts and redundant power, such as virtualisation clusters or transactional databases. The 24 DIMM slots allow memory expansion up to 3 TB. Buyers who need more than eight front-accessible drives or who require a different drive interface should look at other chassis options.

Eight 400 GB SATA SSDs

The installed storage consists of eight 400 GB SATA solid-state drives connected to the PERC H730P controller, which supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Capacity and drive interface are fixed by this population; any change requires replacing the drives or selecting a different server configuration.

Questions about this item

How do I install the Dell PERC H730P controller and what step is often missed?

Seat the PERC H730P in the dedicated internal slot, connect the SAS cables to the backplane, then enable the controller in the BIOS before creating RAID volumes; the battery-backed cache will not activate until the BIOS option is turned on.

Which components will need replacement first during the server's life?

The two 750 W Platinum power supplies and the PERC H730P battery-backed cache module are hot-swappable and typically replaced before the Xeon Gold 6142 CPUs or DDR4 DIMMs.

What thermal or power limit appears first when both Xeon Gold 6142 processors run at 3.7 GHz turbo continuously?

The 750 W redundant PSUs and 2U chassis airflow cap sustained all-core turbo; the system will throttle CPU frequency before exceeding the power supply or thermal envelope.
