Dual-socket 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server fitted with two Intel Xeon Gold 6148 processors, each running at 2.4 GHz with 20 cores. It ships with 768 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots and eight 600 GB 10K SAS drives on a PERC H730P controller. Redundant 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management complete the package.

Virtualisation and database workloads

This configuration suits environments that need high core counts and large memory capacity for virtualisation, database or compute-intensive tasks. The 24 DIMM slots allow expansion up to 3 TB. Buyers who require all-flash arrays or larger drive bays should consider other platforms.

PERC H730P RAID controller

The installed PERC H730P 2 GB controller supports SAS and SATA drives with RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. It governs the eight 2.5-inch SAS bays and determines which drive types and redundancy schemes are possible.

Questions about this item

Will the LGA 3647 Xeon Gold 6148 processors fit into my existing LGA 3647 motherboard and use the same DDR4 2666MHz ECC memory?

Yes, both CPUs use the LGA 3647 socket and the installed 768GB is DDR4 2666MHz registered ECC, so they match that platform.

How can I confirm the PERC H730P controller sees all eight 600GB SAS drives and the RAID battery is healthy after first boot?

Open the controller BIOS or iDRAC9 Enterprise storage view; it will list all eight 600GB 10K SAS drives and show the H730P 2GB battery status as optimal.

Does the shipment include the SFP+ modules for the X520 10Gb ports and the rail kit screws, or must I order them separately?

The box contains the 2U server with bezel, ready rails, two 750W PSUs and the X520/I350 card installed; SFP+ transceivers and rail mounting screws are not included.
