Dell PowerEdge R740 2U Server

This 2U rack server ships with two Intel Gold 6132 processors running at 2.6 GHz, each offering 14 cores and 19.25 MB cache. It includes 512 GB of DDR4 memory across 16 modules rated at PC4-2400. The H730P RAID controller manages two 480 GB SATA SSDs in an 8-bay 2.5 inch chassis with redundant 1100 W power supplies.

Suited for virtualisation hosts needing dense

The dual 14-core CPUs and 512 GB DDR4 fit heavy VM workloads, while the iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management simplifies lights-out administration. Buyers who require more internal storage bays than the eight 2.5 inch slots provide, or who need a different drive interface than SATA, should consider other configurations.

The H730P RAID controller defines the storage

It connects the installed 480 GB SATA SSDs and any additional drives placed in the remaining six bays, determining which RAID levels and drive counts are supported. Verify that its firmware and port count match your planned array layout before deployment.

Questions about this item

What rack depth and rail kit do I need for the 2U R740 chassis?

The server is a 2U rack-mount unit; Dell sliding rails are included in the box for standard 4-post cabinets.

Which iDRAC9 Enterprise port and default credentials do I use for first-time remote setup?

Connect the dedicated iDRAC RJ45 management port; the factory login is root / calvin — change the password on first login.

How many 2.5-inch drive bays remain free after the two 480GB SATA SSDs, and what RAID controller manages them?

Six of the eight 2.5-inch bays are open; the H730P RAID controller handles all installed and future drives.
