Dell PowerEdge R740 1U Rack Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 1U rack server built for virtualisation and database workloads. It ships with dual Intel Silver 4210R processors, each offering 10 cores at 2.4 GHz. The system includes 128 GB of DDR4 memory across eight 16 GB modules. Eight 1.92 TB SAS SSDs and an H730P RAID controller provide high-speed storage capacity.

Suits virtualisation hosts; not for GPU compute

This server suits organisations deploying virtual machines or storage-heavy applications in a compact 1U form factor. The dual 10-core CPUs and 128 GB memory support dense consolidation. Buyers who need GPU acceleration or more than eight 2.5-inch drive bays should look at alternative platforms that support those configurations.

Eight 1.92 TB SAS SSDs with H730P RAID

The storage subsystem centres on eight 1.92 TB SAS read-intensive SSDs managed by the H730P controller. This combination delivers consistent throughput for mixed read-write workloads. The eight-bay chassis limits total raw capacity to the installed drives, so capacity planning must account for this fixed ceiling.

Questions about this item

What rack space and power infrastructure do I need for this 1U server with dual 1100W redundant supplies?

The chassis occupies one rack unit and includes rails; each 1100W supply connects to a standard C13 PDU outlet for redundant power.

Can the Intel X550 10Gb RJ45 ports negotiate down to 1Gb links with my existing switches?

Yes, the X550 NDC provides two 10Gb RJ45 and two 1Gb RJ45 ports, all of which auto-negotiate to 1Gb when connected to slower switch ports.

How do I confirm the H730P RAID controller sees all eight 1.92TB SAS SSDs after installation?

Open the iDRAC9 Enterprise interface or the H730P BIOS utility during boot; both will list each 1.92TB drive and show the configured virtual disks.
