Dell PowerEdge R740 2U Rack Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built for virtualisation and database workloads. It ships with two Intel Gold 6126 processors, each running at 2.6 GHz with 12 cores. The system includes 32 GB of DDR4 memory in a dual-channel configuration. Four 120 GB SATA SSDs are pre-installed behind an H730P RAID controller.

Suited for dense compute and internal storage

This server suits organisations that need up to eight 2.5-inch drive bays in a compact 2U form factor. The dual 10 Gb and dual 1 Gb Ethernet ports handle heavy network traffic. Buyers who need more than eight drive bays or require an internal optical drive should consider other chassis designs.

H730P RAID controller with four SATA SSDs

The H730P controller manages the four 120 GB SATA SSDs in hardware RAID. This specification decides whether the storage performance and redundancy meet the application requirements. The controller supports up to eight drives, allowing future expansion within the existing backplane.

Questions about this item

Will the 2.6 GHz Gold 6126 CPUs work with my existing DDR4-2666 memory modules?

Yes, the server uses DDR4 PC4-2666 memory, so compatible DDR4-2666 modules you already own can be added to the two installed 16 GB DIMMs.

How can I verify the H730P RAID controller sees all four 120 GB SATA SSDs after installation?

During POST the H730P BIOS will list each detected drive; you can also log into iDRAC9 Enterprise and check the storage inventory for all four 120 GB SSDs.

Does the shipment include rails and power cords, or must I order them separately?

The bezel, rails and power cords are included in the box; no separate purchase is required for those items.
