Dell PowerEdge R740 2U rack server

The Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built for virtualisation clusters and database workloads. It ships with a single Intel Gold 6132 processor running at 2.6GHz with 14 cores and 19.25M cache. Memory is populated as 128GB DDR4 across eight 16GB modules at 2666 MT/s. Storage uses four 1.2TB 10K SAS drives managed by an H730P controller.

Suited for teams needing dense compute in 2U

The server includes an Intel X550 network daughter card delivering two 10Gb RJ45 and two 1Gb RJ45 ports, plus up to eight PCIe Gen 3 slots for add-in cards. Remote management is handled by iDRAC9 Enterprise. Buyers who require dual processors from day one or more than eight 2.5-inch drive bays should consider other configurations.

128GB DDR4 memory configuration

The installed 128GB uses all eight DIMM slots with 16GB PC4-2666 modules, so any memory expansion requires replacing existing sticks. This density supports moderate virtual machine counts but limits headroom for very large in-memory databases without a memory upgrade.

Questions about this item

Does the server ship with the rack rails required to mount it in a standard 2U cabinet?

The listing confirms rails are included with the PowerEdge R740, so the unit can be installed in a 2U rack without ordering extra hardware.

Can the existing Intel X550 network module with 2x 10Gb RJ45 and 2x 1Gb RJ45 ports be used alongside older 1Gb switches?

Yes, the 1Gb RJ45 ports on the NDC will auto-negotiate with legacy 1Gb switches while the 10Gb ports remain available for faster uplinks.

How can I verify the H730P RAID controller sees all four 1.2TB SAS drives after first boot?

Open the iDRAC9 Enterprise interface or enter the H730P BIOS utility; both will display each 1.2TB drive and the configured virtual disk status.
