Dell PowerEdge R740 2U Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built for compute-intensive workloads. Two Intel Xeon Silver 4110 8-core processors run at 2.1 GHz with a 3.0 GHz turbo frequency. 64 GB of DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC memory is installed across four slots. Eight 300 GB 10K SAS drives connect through a PERC H730P 2 GB controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies provide redundancy. iDRAC 9 Enterprise enables remote management.

Virtualisation hosts and database nodes

This configuration suits organisations running virtualisation clusters, database instances or high-throughput applications that benefit from dual-socket Xeon performance and hardware RAID. The 24 DIMM slots allow memory expansion up to 3 TB for growing workloads. Buyers who need higher core counts per socket or larger drive bays for capacity-focused storage should evaluate other platforms. The quad-port network daughter card with two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports covers typical rack connectivity.

PERC H730P RAID controller with 2 GB cache

The storage subsystem centres on the Dell PERC H730P 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA controller with 2 GB battery-backed cache. It manages the eight 300 GB 10K SAS drives and supports pass-through mode for software-defined storage. This controller determines the RAID levels available and the maximum drive count the backplane can address. Verify that your preferred RAID topology and drive type match the H730P capabilities before deployment.

Questions about this item

Do I need to supply my own rack and mounting hardware for the PowerEdge R740?

The server includes Ready Rails and a front bezel for installation in a standard rack cabinet.

Can the PERC H730P controller use the SATA SSDs I already own?

Yes, the H730P supports both SAS and SATA drives in the same 2.5-inch bays.

How can I verify the dual Xeon Silver 4110 processors are recognised after first boot?

Check the iDRAC9 Enterprise interface or the BIOS POST screen; both will show 2 processors, 16 cores total and 64GB DDR4 memory.
