Dell PowerEdge R740 2U rack server
This Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server supplied new with a rail kit. It arrives with dual Xeon Gold 6130 16-core processors running at 2.10 GHz with turbo up to 3.70 GHz. The system includes 256 GB of DDR4 3200 MHz memory across eight 32 GB modules and 48 TB of storage via four 12 TB enterprise nearline SAS drives. Memory and drives are packaged separately and require installation before use.
Suits virtualization, private cloud
The dual 16-core CPUs and large memory capacity fit virtualization clusters, software-defined storage and high-performance computing tasks. Redundant hot-swap power supplies and iDRAC9 remote management support continuous operation. Buyers needing all-flash performance or workloads that exceed the installed 256 GB memory ceiling should consider other configurations. The server ships with components uninstalled, so teams without rack integration resources should plan accordingly.
PERC H730 RAID controller with 2 GB NV cache
Storage is managed by a PERC H730 12 Gb/s RAID controller equipped with 2 GB of non-volatile cache. This controller determines the RAID levels and drive protection available for the four 3.5-inch 7.2K RPM SAS drives. Network connectivity is provided by a Broadcom BCM5720 quad-port 1 GbE BASE-T rNDC adapter. Verify that the H730 RAID feature set matches your redundancy and throughput requirements before purchase.

Questions about this item
What SAS speed does the PERC H730 controller support and how does that cap drive throughput?
The PERC H730 is a 12Gb/s RAID controller, so each attached 12Gb/s SAS drive is limited to that link rate.
What physical mounting hardware is included for rack installation?
A rail kit is supplied with the 2U chassis for sliding the server into a standard rack.
Which components must the buyer install before first boot?
The eight 32GB DDR4 memory modules and four 12TB 3.5-inch SAS drives ship separately and must be fitted into the DIMM slots and drive bays.
