Server configuration

This Dell PowerEdge R740 rackmount server arrives with two Intel Xeon Bronze 3204 processors running at 1.9 GHz and 512 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. The 8LFF chassis supports up to eight 3.5-inch SATA drives managed by a PERC H730P RAID controller, while dual 750 W supplies and an iDRAC9 Enterprise licence provide redundancy and remote management.

Suitable workloads

The twelve total cores and half-terabyte of memory suit virtualisation hosts, database nodes or backup targets that value capacity over clock speed. Organisations needing higher single-thread performance, GPU acceleration or more than two sockets should evaluate alternative platforms.

Deciding specification

The installed 512 GB DDR4 ECC registered memory is the critical figure; confirm your application fits within this limit or budget for additional DIMMs up to the 3 TB maximum.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the PERC H730P RAID controller and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management are working after setup?

During boot, watch for the PERC H730P BIOS prompt and press the indicated key to enter its configuration utility; then log into the iDRAC9 web interface using the management port to confirm both are responsive.

What comes in the box and what must I source separately?

The chassis includes 2x Xeon Bronze 3204 CPUs, 512GB DDR4 ECC registered memory, PERC H730P controller, 10GbE 2-port 562T adapter, dual 750W power supplies, and rails on request; no 3.5" drives are installed.

Which 3.5" drive capacity should I choose for the eight bays?

Select SATA drives that match your capacity and endurance needs; the PERC H730P supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60 across all eight bays.
