Ready-to-Deploy Rack Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack-mount server system supplied new with two Intel Xeon Gold 6244 processors at 3.6 GHz and 128 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. Eight 3.5-inch drive bays and a Dell PERC H730P controller are installed, while storage drives are not included. Integrated graphics, a 10 GbE dual-port adapter and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management complete the platform.

Fit for Compute-Dense Workloads

This configuration suits buyers who need high single-thread frequency and up to 3 TB of DDR4 capacity in a compact 2U form factor. It is not for buyers who want storage drives included, who require GPU acceleration, or who need a tower or blade form factor. The fixed two-socket design also limits expansion beyond the installed processors.

Eight 3.5-Inch SATA Bays with PERC H730P

The chassis provides eight large-form-factor bays connected to the Dell PERC H730P RAID controller over SATA, so the number of drive slots is the single spec that determines whether the server matches your storage plan.

Questions about this item

Will the PERC H730P RAID controller recognise my existing 3.5-inch SATA drives?

Yes, the PERC H730P controller supports SATA drives in the eight 3.5-inch bays, so your current drives can be installed and configured in RAID arrays.

How can I confirm the two Xeon Gold 6244 processors and 128 GB DDR4 ECC memory are detected after first boot?

Open the iDRAC9 web interface or enter the BIOS during POST; both will show two CPUs at 3.6 GHz, 24.75 MB cache each, and 128 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory.

The listing says no drives are included; what else must I source before the server is operational?

You need to purchase 3.5-inch SATA drives for the eight bays; the server already includes two 750 W power supplies, the PERC H730P controller, a 10 GbE 562T dual-port adapter, iDRAC9 Enterprise and 128 GB DDR4 ECC RAM.
