2U Rack Server for Virtualisation

The Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built for dense virtualisation and database workloads. It ships with one Intel Gold 6148 processor delivering 20 cores at 2.4GHz and 27.5M cache. The system includes 32GB of DDR4 memory in two 16GB modules running at 2666 MT/s. Two 1.2TB 10K SAS drives provide fast local storage on the H730P RAID controller.

Thermals and Redundant Power

Redundant 1100W power supplies keep the server running during a module failure. The 2U chassis uses direct-airflow cooling tuned for the installed processor and drive configuration. iDRAC9 Enterprise provides remote thermal monitoring and power telemetry without needing the operating system to be online. Fan speeds adjust automatically to workload and inlet temperature.

Included Rails and Remote Management

Sliding rails and power cords are supplied so the unit can be racked immediately. The front bezel has no LCD panel, keeping the front profile clean. iDRAC9 Enterprise enables full out-of-band control including virtual console, media redirection and firmware updates. Eight PCIe Gen 3 slots remain available for additional network or storage adapters.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 2.5 inch drives and what step is often missed?

Slide each 1.2TB SAS drive into the 8-bay chassis until the carrier clicks, then use the H730P controller BIOS to create a virtual disk before the OS sees the volume.

Which components will need replacement first during the server's life?

The 10K SAS drives and the 1100W redundant power supplies are the primary field-replaceable units; the 32GB DDR4 DIMMs and Gold 6148 processor are not routine maintenance items.

What thermal or power limit appears first when the Gold 6148 runs at full load continuously?

The 1100W redundant PSU rating and the 2U chassis airflow ceiling constrain sustained 20-core turbo operation before any single component hits its individual thermal threshold.
