Dual-socket 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server fitted with two Intel Xeon Silver 4110 processors, each running at 2.1 GHz with eight cores. It ships with 64 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across four modules and a PERC H730P storage controller with 2 GB cache. Eight 800 GB SATA SSDs populate the 2.5-inch drive bays, and dual 750 W redundant power supplies provide hot-swap redundancy.

Suited for balanced compute and storage density

This configuration suits workloads that need two-socket performance, hardware RAID across SATA SSDs, and out-of-band management through iDRAC 9 Enterprise. Buyers who require more than 24 memory slots, a different drive interface than SATA, or a chassis smaller than 2U should consider other platforms. The four-port network daughter card delivers two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections for mixed traffic.

24 DDR4 slots define maximum memory

The server provides 24 DDR4 slots with a maximum supported capacity of 3 TB, so the installed 64 GB can be expanded significantly within the same chassis. If the application demands memory beyond that limit or a memory generation other than DDR4, this platform will not meet the requirement.

Questions about this item

How are the eight 2.5-inch SSDs installed and what step is often missed?

Slide each 800 GB SATA SSD into the front hot-swap bays until the carrier clicks; the step often missed is creating the virtual disk in the PERC H730P BIOS before the OS sees any volume.

What maintenance will the PERC H730P controller need later?

The controller’s 2 GB cache has a battery-backed module that should be replaced when iDRAC 9 reports a degraded or failed battery status.

What limit appears first under sustained heavy write load?

The eight 800 GB SATA SSDs share a 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA bus on the H730P, so sustained sequential writes will saturate that controller bandwidth before the CPUs or memory do.
