Dell PowerEdge R740 2U Server

This Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built for virtualisation, database and high-performance computing workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Silver 4116 processors running at 2.10 GHz, each providing 12 cores for a total of 24 threads. The system includes 768 GB of DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC memory across 24 DIMM slots, with a maximum capacity of 3 TB. A PERC H730P 2 GB controller manages storage with RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 support.

Suited for dual-socket density and memory capacity

Organisations needing a balanced 2-socket platform with large memory footprints and hardware RAID will find this configuration effective. The eight 2.5-inch drive bays, dual 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management support dense, resilient deployments. Buyers who require more than two processor sockets, GPU accelerator slots or a different drive interface should evaluate other platforms.

768 GB DDR4 registered ECC memory installed

The single specification that decides fit is the 768 GB of DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC memory already populated in all 24 slots. This determines immediate capacity for virtual machines or in-memory databases and defines the upgrade path to the 3 TB maximum. Confirm that your workload matches this memory configuration before purchase.

Questions about this item

Does the server need any additional drives or memory to start up?

No, it ships with 768 GB of DDR4 memory and two 400 GB SATA SSDs already installed, so it can boot without extra components.

Will the PERC H730P controller recognise my older SATA drives if I add them to the empty bays?

Yes, the H730P supports SATA and SAS interfaces, so existing SATA drives can be used in the remaining 2.5-inch bays.

How can I confirm the iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management is active after first power-on?

Connect a network cable to the dedicated iDRAC port, then browse to the IP shown on the front LCD; the login screen confirms the Enterprise licence is working.
