Dual-socket 2U server for compute-intensive

The PowerEdge R740 installs two Xeon Silver 4110 processors at 2.1 GHz with eight cores each. 128 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory occupies eight of the 24 available slots. The platform targets virtualisation, database and high-performance computing tasks that demand multi-threaded throughput.

Sustained load handling

Two 750 W platinum power supplies share the load and maintain operation if one unit fails. The PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache drives eight 1.2 TB 10 K SAS drives in RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 or 60. Active cooling across the 2U chassis keeps CPU and storage temperatures stable during continuous duty cycles.

Enterprise connectivity

A quad-port network daughter card delivers two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links for flexible fabric integration. iDRAC 9 Enterprise provides out-of-band console access, power control and hardware monitoring over a dedicated interface. Tool-less sliding rails and a front bezel simplify rack installation and physical security.

Questions about this item

How much power do the two 750 watt platinum supplies draw when the R740 runs continuously?

Each supply is rated at 750 watts platinum efficiency; the second unit provides hot-swap redundancy so the server stays on if one fails.

What cabling and rack hardware are needed before the R740 can be powered on?

The server includes ready rails and a front bezel; you must supply IEC power cords for the dual PSUs and SFP+ modules or DAC cables for the 10 GbE ports.

Can the PERC H730P controller manage the 1.2 TB SAS drives together with older SATA disks?

The H730P supports mixed SAS and SATA drives in the same 8-bay backplane and offers RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across them.
