you are right, the H740 is not compatible with your server model but the H730 is the equivalent model for your server. If you are searching for high performance, plan to purchase the H730p model. https://dell.to/3mFfcBX
h730 and h740 are based on different generation of LSI ROC combined with 2GB DDR3 vs 8GB DDR4 should make notable difference in terms of performance for RAID6 configuration.
So is there any chance you can clarify what "Not compatible" means ? Is there anything in Dell custom firmware that verifies / denies this card from working in 13G servers ?
The controllers are only supported on the generation they are intended for, that doesn't mean they definitely won't function, just that we can't guarantee the results from running them outside of intended use, or if the driver and firmware are able to be run on the other server or OS.
