Processors

Memory

Each CPU has 12 memory DIMM slots. Those DIMMs are organized into 6 different channels so there are 2 DIMMs per channel. For best performance all memory channels should be populated with the same number of DIMMs, either 6 or 12 DIMMs per CPU.

Supported type DIMMs are:

• RDIMMs (Registered DIMM) - Provides for higher capacity options and advanced RAS features. It is the most commonly used DIMM type, and offers the best mix of frequency, capacity, and rank structure choices.

• LRDIMMs (Load Reduced DIMM) - Provides maximum capacity beyond that of an RDIMM but at a higher power consumption. Uses a buffer to reduce memory loading to a single load on all DDR signals, allowing for greater density.

• NVDIMM (Non-Volatile DIMM) - Provides a persistent memory solution with NAND and DRAM that maintains data in power loss, system crash, or normal shutdown. This solution requires a battery as a power source for an AC loss condition. It can be used in conjunction with RDIMMs.

• DCPMM (also known as Intel® Optane™ DC persistent memory) - Provides a large memory capacity at an affordable price. Any application can take advantage of DCPMM in Memory Mode with a compatible operating system. Unlock more performance as well as persistency when using an application that supports App Direct Mode. DCPMM is used in conjunction with RDIMMs or LRDIMMs and a maximum number of 6 DCPMMs can be used per CPU. This persistent memory technology does not require a battery.

Intel® Optane™ DC Persistent Memory (DCPMM)

Intel® Optane™ DC Persistent Memory is a new memory technology that allows customers to reach a large memory capacity at an affordable price. Additionally, when operating the memory in "App Direct Mode" the memory is persistent.

DCPMM comes in 3 different memory sizes, 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB.

RDIMMs and LRDIMMs are used in conjunction with Intel® Optane™ DC persistent memory. Each channel will be populated with up to one DIMM of DRAM and one DIMM of DPCMM. That means that each CPU will have up to 6 DIMMs of DRAM and 6 DIMMs of DCPMM. For best performance it is recommended to have all 12 DIMMs slots per CPU populated.

Intel Optane DC persistent memory operates in two modes, Memory Mode and Application Direct Mode:

Memory operating modes

Performance Optimized or Optimizer Mode: prioritizes performance and does not provide any RAS features beyond standard ECC

(Error-Correcting Code).

Memory mirroring has two adjacent memory channels configured to write the same data to each channel. If one memory channel fails or encounters an error, the other channel continues to transmit data. It's an excellent safeguard for systems requiring uninterrupted operation, though it cuts memory capacity in half, can double the cost per gigabyte, and can increase power consumption.

Fault resilient memory is a Dell patented technology that works with the VMWare ESXi Hypervisor to provide a fault resilient zone that protects virtual machines from the ramifications of memory faults.

Memory sparing can reduce downtime from correctable errors by allocating one rank (64-bit wide data area on a DIMM) per channel (Single Rank Spare Mode) or two ranks per channel (Multi Rank Spare Mode) as memory spares. If a correctable error occurs in a rank or channel, it's moved to the spare rank while the OS is running. This prevents the error from causing a failure. Memory sparing reduces memory capacity by one rank per channel or two ranks per channel (depending if Single Rank or Multi Rank is selected) and increases the cost per gigabyte.

Thermal

Thermal management of the PowerEdge R740 and R740xd delivers high performance for the right amount of cooling to components at the lowest fan speeds across a wide range of ambient temperatures from 10°C to 35°C (50°F to 95°F) and to extended ambient temperature ranges (see Environmental Specifications). The benefits to you are lower fan power consumption (lower server system power and data center power consumption) and greater acoustical versatility.

Power, thermal and acoustics 37

NOTE: The recommended ambient temperature for R740 and R740xd is generally 30°C, there are some exceptions for

R740xd GPU and NVMe configurations that can be found in the support documentation.

Thermal design

The PowerEdge R740 and R740xd server cooling builds on the features and capability of previous Dell EMC servers but expands support for higher power processors, PCIe cooling, and increased NVMe count. A new chassis mechanical architecture enables increased airflow capability for cooling of higher power and dense system configurations and results in fewer system restrictions and increased feature density. Dell Server Thermal, Mechanical, and Thermal Control designs are based on the following key tenets and order of priority.

The thermal design of the system reflects the following:

• Optimized thermal design: The system layout is architected for optimum thermal design. System component placement and layout are designed to provide maximum airflow coverage to critical components with minimal expense of fan power.

• Comprehensive thermal management: The thermal control system regulates the system fan speeds based on feedback from system component temperature sensors, as well as for system inventory and subsystem power draw. Temperature monitoring includes components such as processors, DIMMs, chipset, system inlet air temperature and hard disk drives.

• Open and closed loop fan speed control: Open loop fan control uses system configuration to determine fan speed based on system inlet air temperature. Closed loop thermal control uses temperature feedback to dynamically adjust fan speeds based on system activity and cooling requirements.

• User-configurable settings: With the understanding and realization that every customer has a unique set of circumstances or expectations from the system, in this generation of servers, we have introduced limited user-configurable settings in the iDRAC9BIOS setup screen. For more information, see the Dell EMC PowerEdge system Installation and Service Manual on Dell.com/Support/ Manuals and “Advanced Thermal Control: Optimizing across Environments and Power Goals” on Dell.com.

• Cooling redundancy: The system allows N+1 fan redundancy, allowing continuous operation with one fan failure in the system.

Acoustics

The PowerEdge R740 is quiet enough to be used in an office environment in typical and minimum configurations, and the R740Xd can also operate at a similar level in certain configurations.

Acoustical design

The acoustical design of the PowerEdge R740 and R740xd reflect the following:

• Versatility: The R740 and R740xd save you power draw in the data center but are also quiet enough for office environment in typical and minimum configurations. You may find that the system is sufficiently quiet where the sound it emits blends into the environment.

• Adherence to Dell EMC's high sound quality standards: Sound quality is different from sound power level and sound pressure level in that it describes how humans respond to annoyances in sound, like whistles and hums. One of the sound quality metrics in the Dell EMC specification is prominence ratio of a tone.

• Noise ramp and descent at boot-up from power off: Fan speeds and noise levels ramp during the boot process(from power- off to power-on) in order to add a layer of protection for component cooling in the event that the system were not to boot properly. In order to keep the boot-up process as quiet as possible, the fan speed reached during boot-up is limited to about half of full speed.

• Noise level dependencies: If acoustics is important to you, several configuration choices and settings are important to consider:

• For lower acoustical output, use a small number of lower rotational- speed SATA hard drives, nearline SAS hard drives, or non-

rotational devices like SSDs. 15k hard drives generate more acoustic noise than that of lower rotational- speed hard drives, and noise increases with number of hard drives.

• Fan speeds and noise may increase from baseline factory configurations if certain profiles are changed by the user or the system

configurations are updated.

• iDRAC9 BIOS settings: Performance Per Watt (DAPC or OS) may be quieter than Performance or Dense Configuration (iDRAC Settings > Thermal > Max. Exhaust Temperature or Fan speed offset).

• The quantity and type of PCIe cards installed: This affects overall system acoustics. Installation of more than two PCIe cards results in an increase in overall system acoustics.

• Using a GPU card: This results in an increase in overall system acoustics.

• PCIe controller-based SSD drives: Drives such as Express flash drives and Fusion- IO cards require greater airflow for cooling, and result in significantly higher noise levels.

• Systems with an H330 PERC: This configuration may be quieter than those with an H730P PERC with battery backup. However, higher noise levels result when a system is configured as non-RAID.

• Hot spare feature of power supply unit: In the system default setting, the Hot Spare Feature is disabled; acoustical output from the power supplies is lowest in this setting.
