2U Rack Server with Dual Xeon Silver

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack-mount server system designed for compute-intensive workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Silver 4116 processors, each running at 2.1 GHz with 12 cores. The system includes 768 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots and uses the Intel C620 chipset. Redundant 750 W hot-swap power supplies support continuous operation.

Suited for Virtualisation and Database Workloads

This configuration suits environments that need high core counts and large memory capacity, such as virtualisation hosts or database clusters. The PERC H730P controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 with a 2 GB cache. Buyers who require more than two processor sockets or front-access U.2 bays should evaluate alternative platforms. The quad-port network daughter card provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections.

24 DIMM Slots Supporting 3 TB Maximum Memory

The motherboard provides 24 DDR4 DIMM slots with a maximum supported capacity of 3 TB. The installed 768 GB uses 24 modules of 32 GB each at 2400 MHz. Memory expansion requires registered ECC DDR4 modules compatible with the Intel C620 chipset and LGA 3647 socket. The eight 2.5-inch drive bays accept SAS or SATA drives through the H730P controller.

Questions about this item

What DDR4 memory speed and form factor must I already have to expand the 768GB installed in the 24 slots?

The server uses DDR4 2400MHz registered ECC modules; each of the 24 slots holds a 32GB stick in the current configuration.

Can the PERC H730P controller manage my existing 6Gb/s SAS drives alongside the supplied 12Gb/s 300GB 10K disks?

Yes, the H730P supports SAS and SATA at 12Gb/s and is backward compatible with 6Gb/s drives in the same 2.5-inch bays.

How do I verify the iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management is active after the server posts?

During boot the iDRAC9 Enterprise IP address appears on screen; open that address in a browser to confirm the management console loads.
