Dell PowerEdge R740 2U Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Gold 6132 processors, each offering 14 cores at 2.6GHz. It arrives with 32GB of DDR4 memory installed across two 16GB modules and four 300GB 10K SAS drives managed by an H730P RAID controller. Remote management is handled by iDRAC9 Enterprise and the chassis includes redundant 1100W power supplies.

Suitable Use Cases and Limits

This server suits organisations needing a dense 2U platform with dual 14-core CPUs, integrated 10Gb and 1Gb Ethernet, and up to eight PCIe Gen 3 slots for add-in cards. The eight 2.5-inch drive bays allow further SAS expansion beyond the four installed drives. It is not for buyers who need an optical drive, more than 32GB of memory pre-installed, or a chassis supporting 3.5-inch drives.

Deciding Specification

The H730P RAID controller with four 300GB 10K SAS drives determines whether this configuration matches the storage performance and capacity requirements of the target workload.
