2U Rack Server for Virtualisation

The Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rackmount server system designed for virtualisation and database workloads. It ships with dual Intel Gold 6132 processors, each offering 14 cores at 2.6GHz with 19.25M cache. The system includes 32GB of DDR4 memory configured as two 16GB PC4-2666 modules. A PERC H730P RAID controller manages the internal storage array.

Suits consolidation, not GPU compute

This server suits organisations consolidating multiple virtual machines on a platform with redundant 1100W power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management. The eight 2.5-inch drive bays and up to eight PCIe Gen 3 slots provide internal expansion headroom. Buyers who need GPU-accelerated compute or more than two 10Gb RJ45 network ports should look elsewhere.

H730P RAID controller defines storage options

The installed PERC H730P RAID controller determines which drive types and RAID levels are supported for the two included 480GB SATA SSDs and any additional drives. It connects to the eight 2.5-inch SFF bays in the chassis. Confirm the controller firmware and drive compatibility list before adding larger or different media.

Questions about this item

How much heat and noise should I expect from the 1100W redundant power supplies running all day?

The server ships with dual 1100W redundant power supplies; fan speed and acoustic output scale with the thermal load from the two Gold 6132 processors and installed components.

Do I need to supply any rails or power cords to install this 2U rack server?

Bezel, rails and power cords are included with the chassis so the unit can be racked and powered without extra parts.

Can the H730P controller manage the existing 480GB SATA SSDs alongside older 2.5-inch drives I may add?

The H730P RAID controller supports up to eight 2.5-inch drive bays, allowing the current 480GB SATA SSDs to share the backplane with additional compatible drives.
