Purpose-built 1U rack server

The Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 fits a single Intel Gold 6148 processor with twenty cores at 2.4 GHz and 32 GB of DDR4 memory into a 1U chassis. It targets organisations that need dense compute for virtualisation, database or high-performance workloads in standard racks.

Verify rack depth and PCIe slot plan

Confirm the cabinet can accommodate the 8-bay 2.5-inch drive cage and up to eight PCIe Gen 3 expansion slots. The integrated Intel X550 controller provides two 10 Gb RJ45 and two 1 Gb RJ45 ports, so check cabling and switch compatibility before ordering.

Included rails bezel and redundant power

Sliding rails, a front bezel without LCD and two power cords ship with the unit, simplifying rack installation. The 1100 W redundant supply and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management are also factory-fitted, reducing extra procurement steps.

Questions about this item

What does the R740 include and what must be purchased separately?

The 1U chassis ships with one Gold 6148 20C processor, 32GB DDR4 in two 16GB modules, two 1.92TB SAS SSDs, H730P RAID controller, iDRAC9 Enterprise, 1100W redundant PSU, bezel, rails and power cords. Additional drives, memory modules or a second CPU are not included.

Which configuration suits a workload that needs more cores versus one that needs more drive bays?

This unit has a single 20-core Gold 6148 at 2.4GHz with 27.5M cache. The chassis supports up to eight 2.5-inch bays, so six bays remain free for extra SAS SSDs if capacity is the priority.

How does the installed H730P with two 1.92TB SAS SSDs perform in a live server?

The H730P manages the paired 1.92TB SAS RI SSDs in hardware RAID, delivering consistent read-write throughput for database or virtualisation workloads while the 1100W redundant supply keeps the array online during a power-module failure.
