Dell PowerEdge R740 2U Rack Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built for virtualisation and database workloads. It ships with two Intel Silver 4210R processors, each delivering 10 cores at 2.4 GHz, and 256 GB of DDR4 memory across 16 DIMMs. An H730P RAID controller manages eight 960 GB SAS SSDs in the 2.5-inch drive bays. Redundant 1100 W power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management complete the platform.

Suited for dense compute clusters

This configuration fits environments that need high core counts and fast shared storage in a compact rack footprint. The eight SAS SSDs provide consistent throughput for mixed read-write workloads. Buyers who require more than eight drive bays or who need a different drive interface should evaluate other platforms. Organisations without 10 GbE networking infrastructure will not use the full bandwidth of the integrated Intel X550 adapter.

Eight 960 GB SAS SSDs on H730P RAID

The storage subsystem centres on eight 960 GB SAS SSDs connected to the H730P controller with 2 GB cache. This combination determines usable capacity, redundancy options and sustained IOPS for the target workload. Confirm that the SAS interface and 2.5-inch form factor match the existing infrastructure before deployment.

Questions about this item

What rack space and rails are needed to install the 2U R740 chassis?

The server occupies 2U in a standard rack and the included rails mount directly to the cabinet.

Can the H730P controller manage the eight 960GB SAS SSDs in a single RAID array?

Yes, the H730P supports RAID across all eight installed 960GB SAS SSDs.

How do I verify the 256GB DDR4 memory and dual Silver 4210R CPUs are recognised after power-on?

Check the iDRAC9 Enterprise interface or POST screen; both will show 256GB DDR4 and two 10-core Silver 4210R processors at 2.4GHz.
