Dual-socket 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server fitted with two Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors running at 2.1GHz with 16 cores each. It ships with 512GB of DDR4 2666MHz registered ECC memory across 16 modules. The system includes a PERC H730P 2GB storage controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode.

Suited for virtualisation and database hosts

This configuration suits organisations running virtualised workloads, database clusters or memory-intensive applications that benefit from 32 total cores and half a terabyte of RAM. The quad-port network daughter card provides two 1GbE and two 10Gb SFP+ connections for flexible fabric integration. Buyers needing internal GPU compute density or more than eight 2.5-inch drive bays should evaluate larger chassis options.

PERC H730P RAID controller with battery-backed cache

The installed PERC H730P controller delivers 12Gb/s SAS/SATA connectivity with 2GB of battery-backed write cache, enabling safe write-back caching for RAID arrays. It manages up to eight hot-swap 2.5-inch SAS or SATA drives installed in the supplied trays. This controller choice determines the RAID levels available and the maximum drive count without adding an expander.

Questions about this item

What storage drives must I supply to populate the eight 2.5-inch bays?

You need to provide 2.5-inch SATA or SAS hard drives or SSDs; the server includes eight drive trays but ships with no drives installed.

Will my existing PERC H730P RAID configuration import directly into this server's controller?

Yes, the onboard PERC H730P 2GB controller supports the same RAID levels — 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through — so foreign configurations can be imported.

How do I confirm the iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management is active after first boot?

During POST the iDRAC9 Enterprise IP address is displayed; open that address in a browser and log in with the default credentials to verify the management console loads.
