DELL PowerEdge R740 2U rack server

The DELL PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built for virtualisation, database and high-performance computing workloads. Dual Intel Xeon Gold 6134 processors deliver sixteen cores at 3.2 GHz with 3.7 GHz turbo. Sixty-four gigabytes of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory support demanding applications. The PERC H730P controller manages storage with 2 GB cache and battery backup.

Ideal for dense virtualisation

This server suits organisations that need two-socket performance in a 2U form factor with eight 2.5-inch drive bays. Redundant 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise simplify remote management. Buyers who need more than eight drive bays or more than 64 GB of memory out of the box should look elsewhere. The maximum memory capacity is 3 TB across twenty-four slots.

PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache

The storage controller is a Dell PERC H730P with 2 GB cache and battery backup supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through. It connects to the two installed 400 GB SATA SSDs and up to six additional 2.5-inch SATA or SAS drives. This specification decides whether the server matches your storage redundancy and performance requirements.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the H730P controller and both 400 GB SSDs are recognised after first boot?

Enter the PERC H730P BIOS during POST (Ctrl+R) and confirm the two 400 GB SATA SSDs appear as physical disks and the battery-backed 2 GB cache is reported healthy.

What components are included and what must I supply myself?

The server ships with two Xeon Gold 6134 CPUs, four 16 GB DDR4 2666 MHz RDIMMs, two 400 GB 2.5" SATA SSDs, H730P controller, X520/I350 quad-port NIC, iDRAC9 Enterprise, two 750 W platinum PSUs, rails and bezel; you must add any extra drives, memory modules or OS licences.

Should I choose the 64 GB configuration or populate more of the 24 DIMM slots?

Start with the installed 64 GB (four 16 GB modules) and add matched DDR4 2666 MHz RDIMMs in sets of four to reach up to 3 TB if your workloads need more capacity.
