PowerEdge R740 2U dual-silver server

The Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Silver 4210R processors, each delivering 10 cores at 2.4 GHz with 13.75 MB cache. It ships with 128 GB of DDR4 memory configured as eight 16 GB modules running at 2666 MT/s. The chassis provides eight 2.5-inch drive bays and up to eight PCIe Gen 3 slots for expansion.

Suited for dense virtualisation

This configuration targets environments that need redundant 10 Gb and 1 Gb Ethernet connectivity through the Intel X550 network daughter card and hardware RAID via the H730P controller. The four 7.68 TB SAS SSDs supply high-capacity flash storage for databases or virtual machines. Buyers who require an optical drive or more than four pre-installed SSDs should look at alternative configurations.

Deciding spec: four 7.68 TB SAS SSDs on H730P

The installed solid-state drives connect through the H730P RAID controller, which manages redundancy and performance for the 7.68 TB devices. Confirm that your workload fits within the usable capacity and RAID level offered by this specific drive count and controller combination before deployment.

Questions about this item

What rack height does the PowerEdge R740 2U server occupy and what rails are included?

The server occupies 2U of vertical rack space and the rails required for mounting are included with the system.

How are the 4x 7.68TB SAS SSDs installed into the 8x 2.5-inch drive bays and what step is commonly missed?

The SSDs mount in the hot-plug 2.5-inch drive bays; the step often missed is configuring the H730P RAID controller to create a virtual disk before installing the operating system.

When will the 1100W redundant power supplies need replacement?

The 1100W redundant power supplies are rated for continuous operation and typically require replacement only if a unit fails, at which point the second supply maintains power while the faulty module is hot-swapped.
