Rack-mount server for dense storage workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R740 chassis fits eight 3.5-inch drive bays in a 2U form factor. Two Xeon Bronze 3104 processors run at 1.7GHz with six cores each. 1TB of DDR4 ECC registered memory supports virtualisation and database tasks. The PERC H730P RAID controller manages SATA arrays.

Upgrade from smaller 2U platforms

Moving from a four-bay chassis adds four more spindles without extra rack units. The dual-socket design doubles thread count over single-CPU configurations. The jump is worth it when workloads need more drive slots and parallel threads than a single processor can feed.

Sustained throughput with dual 750W supplies

Redundant power keeps arrays online during a module failure. The 10GbE 562T adapter moves data steadily across the network fabric. iDRAC9 Enterprise gives remote console and telemetry during long rebuilds. Firmware is updated before ship so the system runs stable under continuous load.

Questions about this item

What rack depth and width does the 36 x 24 x 10 in PowerEdge R740 require?

The chassis measures 36 inches deep, 24 inches wide and 10 inches high, so it needs a cabinet with at least 36 inches of usable depth and a standard 24-inch wide opening.

How are the two Xeon Bronze 3104 processors and 1 TB of DDR4 installed, and what step is often missed?

Both CPUs and all memory modules come pre-installed; the common oversight is not applying the latest firmware via iDRAC9 before the first boot.

When will the PERC H730P controller or the 750 W power supplies need replacement?

The H730P and dual 750 W units are rated for continuous operation; plan to evaluate the controller cache battery and PSU fans after three to five years of 24/7 use.
