Dual-socket Xeon server for compute-intensive

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon Gold 6134 processors, each running at 3.2 GHz with 8 cores and a 3.7 GHz turbo frequency. It ships with 256 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across eight 32 GB modules. The system targets organisations that need high core density and large memory capacity in a standard rack footprint.

Sustained load handling

Under continuous demand the PERC H730P controller manages eight 400 GB SATA SSDs with 2 GB cache and battery-backed write caching, supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. The quad-port network daughter card provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections, keeping data flowing to storage and clients without bottlenecks during extended processing windows.

Redundant platinum power and remote management

Dual hot-swap 750 W platinum-efficiency power supplies share the load, reducing waste heat and eliminating a single point of failure. iDRAC 9 Enterprise gives administrators full out-of-band control over power, firmware and hardware health from any location. The chassis includes ready rails and a front bezel for straightforward rack integration.

Questions about this item

How much heat and power do the two 750 W platinum supplies draw when the R740 runs 24/7?

The server uses redundant 750 W platinum power supplies; actual heat and power draw depend on workload and are not fixed values.

Which cables or rails are required to install the 2U chassis in a standard rack?

Ready Rails and a front bezel are included, so no extra mounting hardware is needed for a standard rack.

Can the PERC H730P controller manage the existing 400 GB SATA SSDs together with older 2.5″ SATA drives?

Yes, the H730P supports SAS and SATA drives in RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 and pass-through, so older 2.5″ SATA drives can be added.
