Dell PowerEdge R740 2U server for virtualization

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built for virtualization, software-defined storage, private cloud and high-performance computing. It ships with dual Xeon Gold 6148 processors, 256GB DDR4 memory and 15.36TB of enterprise SSD storage. The system targets small-business and enterprise buyers who need dense, scalable compute in a standard rack form factor.

Installation overview and common issues

The unit includes a rail kit for rack mounting and ships with hard drives and memory upgrades packaged separately, so both must be installed before use. Hot-swappable redundant power supplies allow a failed unit to be replaced without downtime. The PERC H730 RAID controller with 2GB NV cache must be configured for the desired array level during initial setup.

Pre-order compatibility checks

Verify that your rack provides the correct 2U rail spacing and depth for the included rail kit. Confirm the facility can supply redundant power circuits matching the server’s dual power-supply design. Ensure you have a Windows Server 2022 Standard 16-core licence entitlement for the pre-installed operating system. Check that the Broadcom BCM5720 quad-port 1GbE controller meets your network infrastructure requirements.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the Dual Xeon Gold 6148 processors are running at the 2.40 GHz base speed after setup?

Check the iDRAC9 Express interface or the system BIOS during boot; both will display each CPU running at 2.40 GHz with 20 cores and up to 3.70 GHz turbo.

What components are included in the box and what must I source separately?

The box contains the R740 2U chassis, rail kit, dual redundant power supplies, Broadcom BCM5720 quad-port 1GbE controller, PERC H730 RAID controller with 2GB NV cache, four 3.84TB 2.5-inch enterprise SSDs, and eight 32GB DDR4 3200MHz modules; Windows Server 2022 Standard 16-core licence is also included.

Which storage capacity matches the 15.36TB total listed for this configuration?

The 15.36TB figure comes from four 3.84TB enterprise SSDs installed in the hot-swap bays behind the PERC H730 controller.
