2U Rack Server with Dual Xeon Gold 5120

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon Gold 5120 processors running at 2.2 GHz. It provides 1 TB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and supports up to 3 TB total. The chassis accommodates eight 3.5-inch drive bays and includes a PERC H730P RAID controller for SATA storage. Remote management is handled by iDRAC9 with an Enterprise licence.

Installation notes and common issues

The unit ships with two 750 W power supplies and includes a 10 GbE 562T dual-port adapter. Rail kits are available on request but are not fitted by default. Drive carriers for the eight 3.5-inch bays must be ordered separately if not already present. Ensure the rack depth can accept the 36-inch chassis length before mounting.

Practical limits of the SATA interface

SATA drives connected to the PERC H730P are limited to the 6 Gbit/s interface speed and the controller's maximum device count. The eight-bay chassis caps raw device capacity at eight drives regardless of controller capability. Memory expansion beyond the installed 1 TB requires additional DDR4 ECC RDIMMs up to the 3 TB system maximum. The integrated graphics provide only basic console output.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the R740 is running correctly after the firmware update and burn-in test?

Check iDRAC9 Enterprise for clean system logs, confirm both Xeon Gold 5120 CPUs show 14 cores at 2.2GHz, and validate the full 1TB DDR4 ECC memory is recognised without errors.

What components are already installed and which items must be sourced separately?

The chassis includes 2x Xeon Gold 5120 processors, 1TB DDR4 ECC RAM, PERC H730P RAID controller, 10Gb 2-port 562T adapter, and 2x 750W power supplies; drives and rail kit are not included.

Which drive count should I choose for the 8-bay 3.5" chassis?

The R740 8LFF supports up to eight 3.5" SATA drives; select the quantity that matches your capacity and RAID level — each bay adds one drive to the PERC H730P array.
