Dense Compute Platform

The Dell PowerEdge R740 delivers dual Intel Gold 6132 processors and 512 GB of DDR4 memory in a 2U rack chassis with eight 2.5-inch drive bays. Four 800 GB SAS SSDs are pre-installed behind an H730P RAID controller. Dual redundant 1100 W power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management are included.

Virtualisation and Database Targets

This server suits workloads that demand high core counts and large memory capacity in a compact rack footprint. Buyers who need more than eight drive bays or PCIe Gen 4 expansion slots should evaluate alternative platforms.

Storage Controller Decides Fit

The H730P RAID controller manages the installed SAS SSDs and any additional drives added to the remaining bays. Confirm that your RAID level and cache requirements align with this controller before deployment.

Questions about this item

How much rack space does the 2U R740 chassis occupy?

The R740 is a 2U rack server, so it occupies two standard rack units of vertical space in a 19-inch cabinet.

Which rails are included for mounting the 740 in a standard rack?

The package includes ready-to-use sliding rails that let you secure the 2U chassis in a standard 19-inch rack without extra hardware.

When will the 1100W redundant power supplies need replacement?

The hot-plug 1100W redundant PSUs are rated for continuous operation; replace a unit only if iDRAC9 Enterprise reports a fault or the LED shows amber.
