DELL PowerEdge R740 2U Server

This 2U rack server ships new with two Intel Xeon Silver 4116 processors, each running at 2.1 GHz with 12 cores. It includes 768 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots and a Dell PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache. Eight 2.4 TB 10K SAS drives and redundant 750 W power supplies are installed.

Suits virtualisation clusters and database hosts

The dual-socket design, 24 DIMM slots and 12 Gb/s SAS controller support memory-heavy workloads and RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60. It is not for buyers who need a single-processor configuration, more than two CPUs, or a tower chassis. The fixed 8-bay 2.5" backplane limits drive count without an external enclosure.

768 GB DDR4 registered ECC memory installed

The system arrives with 24 modules of 32 GB DDR4-2400 already populated, reaching the listed capacity. Maximum supported memory is 3 TB, so further expansion requires replacing modules. Confirm your application's memory footprint before ordering.

Questions about this item

Does the server ship with all 24 memory slots populated or must I add modules?

The system includes 768GB across 24 slots using 32GB DDR4 2400MHz registered ECC modules, so every slot is already filled.

Which RAID levels does the H730P controller support for the eight 2.4TB SAS drives?

The PERC H730P with 2GB cache supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode.

What network speeds are available from the installed X520/I350 daughter card?

The card provides two 1GbE ports and two 10Gb SFP+ ports for mixed copper and fibre connectivity.
