Dual-socket 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server fitted with two Intel Xeon Gold 6142 processors. Each CPU runs at 2.6 GHz with 16 cores and a 3.7 GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 64 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across four 16 GB modules. A PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache manages the eight 2.4 TB SAS hard drives. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies provide redundancy.

Suits virtualisation and database workloads

This configuration suits virtualisation hosts and database servers that need high core counts and fast local storage. The eight 2.5-inch drive bays are populated with 10 K SAS drives, and the H730P supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Buyers who need more drive bays or solid-state storage should consider a different chassis. The network daughter card adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports.

24 DDR4 slots with 3 TB maximum

The motherboard provides 24 DDR4 slots and supports up to 3 TB of registered ECC memory. Only DDR4 modules are compatible; other memory generations will not fit. Current population uses four slots, leaving twenty available for expansion. The LGA 3647 sockets accept the installed Xeon Gold 6142 processors and no further CPU upgrades are possible beyond the two-socket maximum.

Questions about this item

Does the H730P controller need any extra cables or backplane modules to drive all eight 2.4 TB SAS drives?

The eight 2.5-inch bays are already wired to the PERC H730P 2 GB 12 Gb/s SAS controller, so the 2.4 TB 10 K drives connect directly without additional cabling.

Will the X520/I350 daughter card share PCIe lanes with the H730P or the Xeon Gold 6142 CPUs?

The quad-port X520/I350 network daughter card plugs into its dedicated OCP mezzanine slot, leaving both CPU PCIe roots and the H730P controller unaffected.

How can I confirm the iDRAC9 Enterprise licence is active after the server boots?

During POST the iDRAC9 Enterprise banner appears on the console, and the web interface at the management IP shows the Enterprise feature set once network settings are configured.
