Dell PowerEdge R740 8-bay rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server with eight 3.5-inch drive bays, one Intel Xeon Gold 6126 processor at 2.6 GHz and 256 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. A PERC H730P RAID controller and a 10 GbE two-port 562T adapter are installed, and dual 750 W power supplies provide redundancy. iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management is licensed and firmware is updated before shipment.

Suits storage-heavy workloads

This configuration suits buyers who need high internal capacity with eight large-form-factor bays and hardware RAID for SATA drives. The single 12-core CPU and 256 GB RAM fit mid-size virtualisation hosts or database nodes. Buyers who need a second processor, GPU compute, or a 1U chassis should consider a different platform.

Eight 3.5-inch drive bays with PERC H730P RAID

The defining specification is the eight-bay 3.5-inch chassis paired with the PERC H730P controller, which determines how many SATA drives you can install and what RAID levels are available. No drives are included, so you must supply compatible SATA media to use the storage capacity.

Questions about this item

Does the server include the rail kit needed to mount the R740 in a standard 19-inch rack?

The rail kit is available on request and is not included by default with the R740 chassis.

Can the existing PERC H730P RAID controller manage SATA drives that I already own?

Yes, the PERC H730P controller supports SATA drives so your existing 3.5-inch SATA disks will work in the eight drive bays.

How can I confirm the iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management is active after the server boots?

During POST the iDRAC9 network address appears on screen; connect to that address in a browser to verify the Enterprise licence is loaded.
