Dell PowerEdge R740 2U Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built for virtualisation and database workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Silver 4110 processors, each running at 2.1 GHz with eight cores. The system includes 256 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots. A PERC H730P controller manages eight 600 GB SAS drives.

Suited for dense compute and storage clusters

This configuration suits organisations that need high core counts and redundant 750 W power supplies in a 2U form factor. The quad-port X520/I350 network card provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections. Buyers who need more than two processors or GPU acceleration should look at a different platform.

Dual Xeon Silver 4110 CPUs define capacity

The installed pair of 8-core Xeon Silver 4110 CPUs sets the processing ceiling for this unit. Maximum memory capacity reaches 3 TB when all 24 DDR4 slots are populated. The H730P controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 with its 2 GB cache. iDRAC 9 Enterprise enables full remote management.

Questions about this item

Will the 2.5" drive bays accept 3.5" SAS drives with an adapter?

The chassis provides eight 2.5" SAS/SATA bays; 3.5" drives will not fit in these bays.

Does the PERC H730P controller come with the RAID battery pre-installed?

The H730P includes a 2GB cache module with battery backup already fitted.

When the 600GB 10K SAS drives reach end of life, can I replace them with larger SAS SSDs?

The backplane supports 12Gb/s SAS, so larger-capacity SAS SSDs are compatible replacements.
