Dell PowerEdge R740 2U Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack-mounted server system built for data-centre workloads. It ships with dual Intel Xeon Gold 6142 processors, each running at 2.6 GHz with 16 cores. The system includes 512 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 16 modules. Eight 300 GB 10K SAS drives connect through a PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache.

Suits virtualisation hosts needing dense compute

This configuration suits organisations running virtualised environments, databases or high-performance applications that benefit from 32 total cores and half a terabyte of RAM. The quad-port network daughter card provides both 1 GbE and 10 Gb SFP+ connectivity. Buyers requiring solid-state storage or GPU-accelerated compute density should evaluate alternative platforms.

PERC H730P RAID controller with 2 GB cache

The storage subsystem centres on the Dell PERC H730P controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. Its 2 GB battery-backed cache accelerates write performance across the eight 300 GB SAS drives. This controller choice determines the RAID levels and drive protocols available for the installed bays.

Questions about this item

What rack-mount hardware is included so I can install the R740 in my cabinet?

Ready Rails and a front bezel are supplied with the server for rack installation.

Can the PERC H730P controller use the SAS drives already in the chassis alongside SATA drives I might add later?

The H730P supports both SAS and SATA drives and can manage them together in the same RAID arrays.

How do I confirm the iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management is active after the server powers on?

The iDRAC9 Enterprise port will show a link light and its web interface becomes reachable at the assigned IP address.
