Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 2U Server

This Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built for compute-dense workloads. Dual Intel Gold 6126 processors deliver twenty-four cores at 2.6 GHz with 19.25 MB cache each. Thirty-two gigabytes of DDR4 memory and eight 800 GB SAS SSDs provide a balanced foundation. The H730P RAID controller and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management complete the platform.

Suited for virtualisation hosts and database nodes

The eight 2.5-inch bays are fully populated with SAS SSDs, so the system suits workloads that need low-latency block storage today. Up to eight PCIe Gen 3 slots allow GPU, networking or storage expansion. Buyers who need more than eight drive bays or a different drive interface should look elsewhere.

Eight 800 GB SAS SSDs in a 2U chassis

The installed configuration fixes usable capacity at eight 800 GB SAS SSDs behind an H730P controller. This single specification determines whether the storage footprint matches the application before any drive changes are planned.

Questions about this item

What rack height and rail depth does the 2U R740 chassis require?

The server occupies 2U of rack space and ships with rails for standard four-post racks; allow at least 740 mm depth for the chassis and cable clearance.

How are the 2x 16GB DDR4 PC4-2666 modules seated, and which slot order avoids a POST halt?

Populate the two DIMMs in the first channel of each CPU — slots A1 and B1 — so both processors have matched memory before adding more.

When should the 800 GB SAS SSDs behind the H730P be replaced based on write endurance?

Monitor the SSD SMART wear indicator via iDRAC9 Enterprise; plan replacement once the media-wearout attribute reaches 10 percent remaining life.
