DELL PowerEdge R740 2U Server

The DELL PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built for dense compute and storage workloads. Two Intel Xeon Silver 4116 processors deliver 24 cores at 2.1 GHz with 3.0 GHz turbo. The system includes 64 GB of DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC memory across four DIMMs.

Dual Xeon Silver 4116 with H730P and 1.2 TB SAS

This configuration suits buyers who need dual-socket density, hardware RAID across eight 2.5-inch drive bays and integrated 10 GbE SFP+ networking. It is not for buyers who require GPU acceleration, single-thread frequency above 3.0 GHz or more than 24 memory slots.

8x 1.2 TB 10K SAS drives on PERC H730P

Eight enterprise 1.2 TB 10K SAS drives connect to the Dell PERC H730P 2 GB controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. This drive count and controller decide whether the storage performance and capacity match the target workload.

Questions about this item

Will the PERC H730P controller work with the SAS drives I already use in my older PowerEdge?

The H730P supports 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA with RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60, so existing SAS drives that meet those specs will be recognised and can be configured in the same arrays.

How can I confirm both Xeon Silver 4116 CPUs and all 64 GB of DDR4 are detected after installation?

Open the iDRAC9 Enterprise interface or enter the BIOS at boot; both will show 2 processors, 12 cores each at 2.1 GHz, and 64 GB registered ECC memory across the populated slots.

Which items ship with the server and what must I source separately?

The box includes the 2U chassis, 2 CPUs, 4×16 GB DDR4 modules, H730P with battery, 8×1.2 TB SAS drives, X520/I350 quad-port card, iDRAC9 Enterprise, 2×750 W PSUs, bezel and rails; extra memory, drives or GPU cards are not included.
