DELL PowerEdge R740 2U Server

The DELL PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built for compute-intensive workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Silver 4110 processors running at 2.1 GHz, each delivering eight cores. The system includes 256 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across eight 32 GB modules. Dual 400 GB SATA SSDs and a PERC H730P controller provide the storage foundation.

Suits dual-socket virtualisation and database roles

This configuration fits environments that need two sockets, redundant 750 W power supplies and integrated 10 Gb SFP+ networking. The 24 DIMM slots support up to 3 TB of DDR4 for future growth. Buyers who need more than two processors, more than eight drive bays, or a taller chassis for additional storage should look at a different platform. The included iDRAC9 Enterprise and rails simplify deployment in standard racks.

PERC H730P RAID controller with 2 GB cache

The installed Dell PERC H730P 2 GB controller manages the two 400 GB SATA SSDs and any additional drives. It supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. The 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA interface connects to the eight 2.5-inch drive bays. Battery-backed cache protects in-flight writes during power loss.

Questions about this item

Will the 2.5" drive bays accept my existing 3.5" SATA drives?

The chassis has eight 2.5" bays; 3.5" drives will not fit without a separate adapter tray.

How can I confirm the PERC H730P controller is operating correctly after installation?

During POST the controller BIOS appears, and iDRAC9 Enterprise reports controller health, battery status and virtual disk state.

Which items are included and which must be purchased separately?

Included: 2x Xeon Silver 4110, 256GB DDR4 (8x 32GB), H730P with battery, 2x 400GB SATA SSDs, X520/I350 quad-port card, iDRAC9 Enterprise, 2x 750W PSUs, rails and bezel. Purchase separately: additional drives, memory up to 3TB, GPU cards, OS licences.
