Hi Rich, The PERC H730P was validated for use in the R740XD model. Looking at the image you shared, it looks like the H730P Mini monolithic controller (part number 3V42G) is what you're looking for.  Sales should be able to help you get hooked up with one, if you're interested. Alternatively, you can order directly from the website from the link below. You may notice that the part number is different to what I provided. That's fine, the number on that page is the number for the kit, which would include a few minor things along with the controller. The actual controller is the same as the number I provided. [URL] Does that help?
I just got a new R740XD PowerEdge Server which came with a PERC H740P RAID controller. Unfortunately, the sofware I need to run is a little old (RedHat/CentOS 7.x) and the megaraid driver is unhappy with the newer hardware. Would a slightly older version of the PERC controller like the PERC H730P work OK in my R740XD server? I'm thinking the software should be able to handle that as long as the controller is HW compatible. I don't know the name of the form-factor: this is not the PCI-E type adapter card, but the squarish module that looks like this: [URL]~405-AAEK_v2/405-AAEK_v2.jpg Thanks, Rich
Is PERC H730P compatible with PowerEdge R740XD?
