PowerEdge R740 dual Xeon server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 arrives as a 2U rack system with two Xeon Gold 6226R processors running at 2.9 GHz and 256 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. It targets organisations that need a dense compute platform for virtualisation, database or high-performance workloads in a standard rack.

Eight 3.5-inch bays with PERC H730P

The chassis provides eight large-form-factor drive bays served by a Dell PERC H730P RAID controller, supporting SATA hard drives in flexible RAID layouts. Dual 750 W power supplies and an iDRAC9 Enterprise licence give redundant power and full out-of-band management for day-to-day administration.

Verify rack depth and drive selection

Confirm that your rack can accommodate the 36-inch depth before ordering. No drives are installed, so you must supply compatible 3.5-inch SATA media. The integrated 10 GbE 562T adapter requires suitable switch ports to use its two ports.

Questions about this item

What SATA speeds does the PERC H730P controller support for the 3.5-inch drive bays?

The PERC H730P RAID controller manages the eight 3.5-inch bays over SATA; installed drives will negotiate their own link speed with the controller.

What physical space and rails are required to mount the 36 x 24 x 10 inch chassis?

The server is a 2U rack-mount chassis measuring 36 x 24 x 10 inches and weighing 40 pounds; a compatible rail kit is available on request for installation.

How are the two Xeon Gold 6226R processors and 256GB DDR4 memory installed, and what step is often missed?

Both CPUs and the sixteen 16GB DDR4 ECC registered modules come factory-installed; the common oversight is forgetting to license and configure iDRAC9 Enterprise for remote management before deployment.
