  • iDRAC9 Express remote management enables lights-out server administration

Enterprise Rack Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack-mount server built for dense virtualization, software-defined storage and high-performance computing. Dual Xeon Gold 6148 processors deliver 20 cores each at 2.40 GHz with turbo up to 3.70 GHz, supported by 256 GB of DDR4 memory running at 3200 MHz.

Upgrade From Single-Socket Or Older Platforms

Moving from a single-socket host or an earlier generation system adds a second 20-core CPU, quadruples memory channels and brings 64 TB of nearline SAS capacity on a PERC H730 RAID controller with 2 GB NV cache. The jump is worth it when workloads outgrow one socket or when hot-swap redundancy becomes a requirement.

Fits Standard 2U Rack With Redundant Power

The chassis includes a rail kit and dual redundant power supplies so a failed unit can be swapped without downtime. A Broadcom BCM5720 quad-port 1 GbE controller and iDRAC9 Express handle network and remote management, while the PERC H730 manages the four 16 TB SAS drives. Drives and memory ship separately for on-site installation.

The server ships with a rail kit for rack installation of the 2U chassis.

How are the 8 DDR4 memory modules installed, and what step is often missed?

The 256GB kit consists of eight 32GB DDR4 modules that must be seated in the correct slots per the system memory population rules.

What component of the PERC H730 controller will need replacement over time?

The PERC H730 RAID controller includes a 2GB NV cache backed by a battery or capacitor that degrades and will require replacement to preserve write performance.
