Dell PowerEdge R740 2U Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built around two Intel Gold 6132 processors, each with 14 cores at 2.6 GHz. It ships with 32 GB of DDR4 memory in two 16 GB modules running at 2666 MT/s and includes a PERC H730P RAID controller. Four 7.68 TB SAS SSDs are installed in the front 2.5-inch bays.

Suited for dense compute and storage workloads

This server fits environments that need dual-socket performance with a large flash footprint in a compact rack unit. The eight PCIe Gen 3 slots support additional networking or acceleration cards. Buyers who need more than 32 GB of memory out of the box or who require an optical drive should look at other configurations.

Storage capacity and controller

The H730P controller manages the four 7.68 TB SAS SSDs, delivering hardware RAID across all populated bays. This combination determines whether the usable capacity and RAID level meet the application requirements.

Questions about this item

What rack space must I reserve for the PowerEdge R740 2U chassis?

The server occupies 2U in a standard 19-inch rack and ships with rails for installation.

Can the Intel X550 10Gb RJ45 ports link to my existing 1Gb switches?

Yes, each 10Gb RJ45 port auto-negotiates down to 1Gb for compatibility with older network gear.

How do I confirm the H730P RAID controller sees all four 7.68TB SAS SSDs?

Open the iDRAC9 Enterprise interface or boot into the controller BIOS to verify all four drives appear in the array configuration.
