Dell PowerEdge R740 2U rack server

This Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built for virtualisation and database workloads. It ships with two Intel Silver 4210R processors, each running at 2.4 GHz with 10 cores. The system includes 128 GB of DDR4 memory across eight 16 GB modules at 2666 MT/s. Remote management is handled by iDRAC9 Enterprise.

Suited for IT teams needing dense compute in a 2U

Buyers who need more than eight 2.5-inch drive bays or who require PCIe Gen 4 bandwidth should look elsewhere. The server provides up to eight PCIe Gen 3 slots and dual 10 GbE RJ45 ports plus dual 1 GbE RJ45 ports. No optical drive is fitted.

Deciding specification: 2 x 800 GB SAS SSD on H730P

The installed storage consists of two 800 GB SAS SSDs managed by an H730P RAID controller. This capacity and interface determine whether the server fits your immediate data-set size or if additional drives must be added to the six empty bays. Power is supplied by redundant 1100 W units.

Questions about this item

What rack height does the 2U PowerEdge R740 chassis occupy?

The server occupies 2U of rack height and fits in a standard rack with 8x 2.5-inch drive bays available.

Which step is often missed when installing the Intel Silver 4210R processors and 128GB DDR4 memory?

The processors and 8x 16GB DDR4 modules are pre-installed; the common oversight is not seating the redundant 1100W power supplies fully before powering on.

What maintenance will the H730P RAID controller and 800GB SAS SSDs require over time?

Monitor the H730P controller battery health and plan SSD replacement once the 800GB SAS drives approach their write endurance limits.
