Dell PowerEdge R740 8-bay server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack-mount server system built for virtualisation, database and high-performance compute workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Silver 4208 processors running at 2.1 GHz and 128 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. The chassis supports up to eight 3.5-inch SATA drive bays and includes a PERC H730P RAID controller.

Eight 3.5-inch drive bays with PERC H730P

The single specification that decides fit is the eight-bay 3.5-inch chassis paired with the PERC H730P RAID controller. This combination accepts SATA hard drives and SSDs in RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 or 60 configurations. No drives are installed, so storage capacity and redundancy are defined entirely by the drives you add.

iDRAC9 Enterprise and dual 750 W supplies

The bundled iDRAC9 Enterprise licence enables full remote console, virtual media and automated lifecycle management without an extra subscription. Two 750 W power supplies provide redundancy for the dual-processor configuration. A rail kit is available on request for rack installation.

Questions about this item

What does the 2.1 GHz base clock on the two Xeon Silver 4208 CPUs mean for actual throughput in this server?

Each Xeon Silver 4208 has eight cores running at 2.1 GHz, giving sixteen cores total for multi-threaded workloads such as virtualization or database tasks.

How does the PERC H730P controller and SATA interface limit the drives I can use?

The PERC H730P manages RAID across the eight 3.5-inch bays using the SATA interface, so installed drives will operate at SATA speeds and RAID levels supported by that controller.

What physical space and mounting hardware does the 36 x 24 x 10 inch, 40-unit chassis need?

The chassis is a rack-mount design that occupies two rack units; rails are available on request for secure installation in a standard rack.
