2U 8-bay rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a dual-socket 2U rack server fitted with two Intel Xeon Bronze 3104 processors running at 1.7GHz and 1.5TB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. It uses a PERC H730P RAID controller and provides eight 3.5-inch drive bays for SATA hard drives. The system includes an iDRAC9 Enterprise licence for remote management and dual 750W power supplies.

Internal storage capacity

This chassis suits workloads that need high core counts and large memory capacity inside a standard 2U form factor with room for eight 3.5-inch drives. Buyers who need more than two processors, more than 3TB of RAM, or a smaller 1U footprint should evaluate other platforms because this model is limited to two sockets and a 2U height.

PERC H730P RAID controller

The installed PERC H730P RAID controller determines which drive types and RAID levels are supported and therefore decides whether the server matches a specific storage topology. Buyers must confirm that this controller meets their RAID and drive-interface requirements before ordering because the controller is not user-swappable without a hardware change.

Questions about this item

What rack dimensions are needed for the 36 x 24 x 10 inch chassis?

The unit measures 36 inches deep, 24 inches wide and 10 inches high; ensure the rack provides at least that much clear space and can support the 40 lb weight.

How are the two Xeon Bronze 3104 processors and 1.5TB of DDR4 installed, and what step is often missed?

Both CPUs are already seated in the two sockets and the 1536GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory is populated across the 24 DIMM slots; the step people miss is verifying the firmware is current before adding drives.

What maintenance will the PERC H730P RAID controller and 750W power supplies need later?

The PERC H730P firmware should be updated when Dell releases new versions, and the two 750W supplies should be checked for fan noise or warning LEDs during routine inspections.
