Dual-socket 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rackmount server system built around two Intel Xeon Silver 4116 processors, each running at 2.1 GHz with 12 cores. It ships with 256 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across eight 32 GB modules and includes a PERC H730P RAID controller with 2 GB cache. Eight 400 GB SATA SSDs populate the front 2.5-inch drive bays, and dual 750 W redundant power supplies provide hot-swap resilience.

Virtualisation hosts and database nodes

This configuration suits organisations running virtualised workloads, database instances or high-throughput storage tasks that benefit from 24 total cores and a large memory footprint. The quad-port network daughter card adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections for flexible fabric integration. Buyers who need a single-socket platform, lower power consumption or a tower form factor should evaluate other form factors.

24 DIMM slots supporting 3 TB maximum

The server board provides 24 DDR4 DIMM slots and supports up to 3 TB of memory when fully populated with compatible registered ECC modules. This capacity ceiling is the key figure for planners who must size the system for in-memory databases, dense virtualisation or future growth without replacing the chassis.

Questions about this item

Does the server need any extra drive trays or caddies to hold the eight 2.5-inch SATA SSDs?

The 2U chassis has eight 2.5-inch bays and the eight 400GB SATA SSDs are already installed, so no additional trays are required.

Can the existing PERC H730P controller manage older 6Gb/s SATA drives if I add them later?

Yes, the H730P supports 12Gb/s SAS and SATA and will negotiate down to 6Gb/s for legacy SATA drives you keep.

How can I confirm the iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management is active after the first boot?

Connect the dedicated iDRAC network port, power on the server, and the iDRAC IP address will appear on the front LCD panel during POST.
