Server Configuration

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack-mount server system supplied new with two Intel Xeon Silver 4216 processors running at 2.1GHz and 768GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. A PERC H730P RAID controller and a 10GbE 562T dual-port adapter are installed. No drives are included; the chassis provides eight 3.5-inch SATA bays.

Who This Suits

Organisations that need a dual-socket Xeon platform with high core count, large memory capacity and hardware RAID for virtualisation, database or file-serving workloads will find the 16 cores and 768GB RAM well matched. The iDRAC9 Enterprise licence gives full remote management out of the box.

Who Should Look Elsewhere

Buyers who require installed storage, GPU acceleration or a form factor smaller than 2U should consider other platforms. The system ships without drives and uses integrated graphics only, so separate storage and compute additions are necessary.

Deciding Specification

The eight 3.5-inch drive bays with SATA interface and PERC H730P controller define the storage architecture; confirm that your workload fits this bay count and interface before purchasing.

Questions about this item

What does the PERC H730P controller cap in practice for drive connectivity?

The PERC H730P RAID controller manages the eight 3.5-inch SATA drive bays and provides hardware RAID for the installed drives.

What are the physical dimensions and weight for rack planning?

The chassis measures 36 by 24 by 10 inches and weighs 40 units, requiring a standard rack with sufficient depth and load capacity.

How is the server installed and what step is often missed?

Mount the chassis in the rack, connect power to both 750 W supplies, cable the network and management ports, then run the lifecycle controller to update firmware before deploying workloads.
