Dell PowerEdge R740 2U server for dense compute

This Dell PowerEdge R740 packs two Silver 4210R processors, each with 10 cores, into a 2U rack chassis. Sixty-four gigabytes of DDR4 memory and a PERC H730P RAID controller come installed. Six 2.4 TB 10 K SAS drives provide high-speed capacity for databases or virtualisation workloads.

Suits clusters needing 10 GbE and redundant power

The onboard Intel X550 adapter delivers two 10 GbE RJ45 ports alongside two 1 GbE links, while dual 1100 W supplies keep the system running during a module failure. iDRAC9 Enterprise gives full remote control without a separate licence. Buyers who require more than eight 2.5-inch drive bays or who need Gen 4 PCIe bandwidth should look elsewhere.

Six 2.4 TB 10 K SAS drives on H730P

The storage subsystem centres on six 2.4 TB 10 000 RPM SAS disks managed by the H730P controller with 2 GB cache. This combination decides whether the server fits your IOPS and capacity targets.

Questions about this item

How many 2.5-inch drive bays does the R740 chassis provide for the 2.4TB SAS drives?

The chassis includes 8 bays for 2.5-inch drives; six are populated with 2.4TB 10K SAS drives and the H730P controller manages the array.

What is the correct order for seating the two Silver 4210R processors and the four 16GB DDR4-2666 DIMMs during installation?

Install both Silver 4210R CPUs first, then populate the four DIMM slots with the 16GB DDR4-2666 modules following the silkscreen sequence for dual-channel operation.

Which field-replaceable units should be kept on hand for the redundant 1100W power supplies and the H730P RAID controller?

Stock a spare 1100W power supply module and an H730P RAID controller; both are hot-pluggable and can be swapped without shutting down the server.
