Dell PowerEdge R740 2U Server

This 2U rack server ships with two Intel Xeon Silver 4110 processors, each running at 2.1 GHz with eight cores. It includes 64 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across four 16 GB modules. The system is designed for virtualisation, database and high-performance computing workloads.

Suited for deployments needing dual-socket density

Buyers who require more than two processors or who need a single-socket platform will not match this configuration. Teams wanting solid-state storage as standard should note the installed drives are 10K SAS hard disks.

Storage controller defines expandability

The Dell PERC H730P 2 GB controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 with a battery-backed cache. Eight 2.5-inch bays are populated with 600 GB SAS drives, and the backplane uses a 12 Gb/s SAS interface.

Questions about this item

Does this R740 need a separate RAID battery for the PERC H730P to keep cache data safe?

The PERC H730P includes a battery-backed 2 GB cache, so no extra battery module is required.

Can I keep my existing 12 Gb/s SAS drives when moving them into this 8-bay 2.5" chassis?

Yes, the backplane and H730P controller both support 12 Gb/s SAS, so current drives will operate at full speed.

How do I confirm the dual Xeon Silver 4110 CPUs and 64 GB DDR4 are recognised after first boot?

Open the iDRAC9 Enterprise web interface or press F2 at POST; the System Summary page lists both 8-core processors and all 64 GB of memory.
