Configuration Ready

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built for compute-heavy workloads. It ships with two Xeon Gold 6246R processors running at 3.4 GHz, each offering 16 cores. A total of 128 GB DDR4 ECC registered memory is installed. The chassis supports up to eight 3.5-inch drive bays and includes a PERC H730P RAID controller. No drives are fitted.

Verify Infrastructure

Confirm the rack provides 36 inches of depth and can support 40 lbs per unit. Two 750 W power supplies are installed and require matching PDU outlets. Network connectivity uses a dual-port 10 GbE 562T adapter. Remote management runs through iDRAC9 with an Enterprise licence. Ensure firmware baseline matches your environment before deployment.

Integration Points

The eight-bay chassis frees internal space for large-capacity SATA drives while the PERC H730P handles RAID without consuming a PCIe slot. Dual processors and 128 GB DDR4 leave memory headroom up to 3 TB for future expansion. Integrated graphics handle console output without a discrete card. Rail kit is available separately for simplified rack mounting.

Questions about this item

Does the server ship with drives or do I need to buy 3.5" SATA drives separately?

The chassis has eight 3.5" bays and no drives are installed, so you must add SATA drives yourself.

Which memory type matches the installed 128GB DDR4?

The system uses DDR4 ECC registered modules; any upgrade must be DDR4 ECC registered to be compatible.

What throughput can the 10GbE 562T adapter deliver in this R740?

The dual-port 10GbE 562T adapter provides up to 10 Gbps per port for high-speed network traffic.
