Dell PowerEdge R740 2U Server

This Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built for data-centre workloads that need dense storage and redundant power. Dual Intel Silver 4210R processors deliver ten cores each for multi-threaded compute. Six 2.4TB 10K SAS drives sit behind an H730P RAID controller. iDRAC9 Enterprise provides full remote management.

Suits virtualisation hosts needing high spindle

The eight 2.5-inch drive bays and 1100W redundant power supplies support continuous operation in rack environments. Buyers who need more than 32GB of memory or additional PCIe expansion beyond eight Gen 3 slots should evaluate larger configurations. The lack of an optical drive and fixed rail kit may limit some deployment scenarios.

H730P RAID controller with six 2.4TB SAS drives

The H730P manages the installed 2.4TB 10K SAS drives in hardware RAID for performance and redundancy. This controller determines the storage topology and data protection level available without adding extra hardware. Verify that the RAID feature set matches the application requirements before purchase.

Questions about this item

Will the Intel X550 10Gb RJ45 ports on this R740 connect directly to my existing Cat6 patch panel?

Yes, the NDC provides two 10Gb RJ45 and two 1Gb RJ45 ports that accept standard Cat6 or Cat6a copper cabling without additional transceivers.

How can I confirm the H730P RAID controller sees all six 2.4TB 10K SAS drives after installation?

During POST the H730P BIOS lists each detected drive; you can also open the iDRAC9 Enterprise web interface and check the Storage tab for all six 2.4TB SAS disks showing Online.

Does the shipment include the sliding rails and both IEC C13 power cords for the redundant 1100W supplies?

The server ships with the bezel, sliding rails and two power cords so the dual 1100W PSUs can be plugged in immediately.
