Server Configuration

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built for compute-intensive workloads. Dual Intel Xeon Gold 6148 processors deliver 40 total cores at a 2.4 GHz base frequency with 3.7 GHz turbo capability. The system includes 128 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across eight modules. A PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache manages storage redundancy.

Fit and Limitations

This server suits organisations running virtualisation clusters, databases or high-performance applications that benefit from high core counts and hardware RAID. The eight 2.5-inch drive bays support SATA and SAS media through the H730P. Buyers who need more than eight front-accessible drives or require a different drive interface should evaluate other chassis options. The installed X520/I350 network daughter card provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports.

Deciding Specification

The PERC H730P 2 GB controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. This determines which drive configurations and redundancy levels are available. The server ships with two 400 GB SATA SSDs and includes iDRAC 9 Enterprise for remote management. Redundant 750 W platinum power supplies and sliding rails are also included.

Questions about this item

Does the server ship with the 2×400 GB SSDs already installed, or do I need to supply my own drives?

Two Dell Enterprise 400 GB SATA 6 Gb/s 2.5″ solid-state drives come pre-installed in the 8-bay chassis.

The listing shows 128 GB across eight 16 GB modules — can I add more DDR4 later?

Yes, the R740 has 24 DDR4 slots and supports up to 3 TB of registered ECC memory, so 16 slots remain free for expansion.

What RAID levels does the PERC H730P controller support for the installed SSDs?

The H730P 2 GB controller handles RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode for the 400 GB SATA SSDs.
