Dell PowerEdge R740 2U Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built with two Intel Gold 6132 processors. Each CPU runs at 2.6GHz with 14 cores and 19.25M cache. The system includes 64GB DDR4 memory in four 16GB modules and six 300GB 10K SAS drives managed by an H730P RAID controller.

Suited For And Limitations

This server suits organisations needing dense compute in a 2U form factor with integrated 10Gb and 1Gb Ethernet. It is not for buyers who require an optical drive or more than eight 2.5-inch drive bays. The configuration ships with fixed processor and memory counts and includes iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management.

Deciding Specification

The H730P RAID controller with six 300GB 10K SAS drives determines storage performance and redundancy options. Up to eight PCIe Gen 3 slots and dual 1100W redundant power supplies support expansion and uptime requirements.

Questions about this item

Will the Intel X550 10Gb RJ45 ports on this R740 negotiate down to 1 Gb speeds for my existing switches?

Yes, the Intel X550 NDC provides two 10Gb RJ45 and two 1Gb RJ45 ports, so it will link at 1 Gb with older switches automatically.

How can I verify the H730P RAID controller sees all six 300GB 10K SAS drives after installation?

During POST press the designated key to enter the H730P configuration utility, or log into iDRAC9 Enterprise and check the storage inventory for six 300GB drives in a healthy state.

Does the shipment include rails and power cords so I can rack the 2U chassis immediately?

The box contains the R740 2U server with bezel, sliding rails and power cords; no extra cables or mounting hardware are required for a standard rack install.
