Dell PowerEdge R740 2U Rack Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built for compute-intensive workloads. It runs dual Intel Gold 6132 processors, each with 14 cores at 2.6 GHz. The system includes 256 GB of DDR4 memory across 16 modules. Eight 960 GB SAS SSDs are installed in the front bays.

Suits virtualisation hosts needing dense storage

This configuration fits teams running hypervisors or databases that benefit from 10 Gb Ethernet and hardware RAID. Organisations requiring an optical drive or GPU-ready expansion should evaluate other platforms. Buyers needing more than eight 2.5-inch drive bays will need a different chassis.

H730P RAID controller with eight SAS SSDs

The H730P controller manages the eight 960 GB SAS SSDs in a hardware RAID array. It provides cache-backed data protection and consistent I/O performance for mixed read and write workloads. The controller connects through a dedicated internal slot, leaving PCIe Gen 3 slots free for additional adapters.

Questions about this item

What rack depth and rail kit do I need to mount the 2U R740 chassis?

The server is a 2U rack unit; the included sliding rails fit standard 19-inch racks with adjustable depth, so measure your cabinet depth and confirm the rails lock into the front and rear posts.

How do I cable the eight 2.5-inch SAS SSDs to the H730P controller during installation?

Connect each of the eight 960 GB SAS SSDs to the H730P RAID controller using the supplied backplane cables; the step often missed is creating the virtual disk in the controller BIOS before the OS installer runs.

When should I replace the 1100 W redundant power supplies or the SAS SSDs?

Replace a power supply immediately if the iDRAC9 Enterprise console reports a fault or amber LED; plan SSD replacement when SMART media-wear indicators approach the rated write endurance limit.
