Dell PowerEdge R740 2U server for dense compute

This 2U rack system ships with dual Intel Silver 4210 processors and 512 GB of DDR4 memory. Six 2 TB 7.2K SAS drives sit behind an H740P controller in an eight-bay 2.5-inch chassis. iDRAC9 Enterprise provides full remote management.

Fits virtualisation hosts needing high core count

Buyers who need 10 GbE networking, 12-core CPUs or 10K SAS drives should look at a different configuration. The eight-bay limit also rules out deployments that require more than eight internal drives.

H740P RAID controller with eight 2.5-inch drive bays

The integrated H740P manages the six installed 2 TB SAS drives and supports up to eight 2.5-inch devices. This ceiling determines whether the server can accommodate your planned storage expansion.

Questions about this item

How many 2.5-inch drive bays are available before the chassis is full?

The R740 chassis supports up to eight 2.5-inch drive bays, and six are already populated with 2 TB 7.2 K SAS drives.

What is the installed power supply rating and redundancy status?

Dual 1100 W redundant power supplies are included, so the server can lose one unit and keep running.

Which network adapters are built into the system board?

An Intel X550 provides two 10 Gb RJ-45 ports and two 1 Gb RJ-45 ports for immediate connectivity.
