DELL PowerEdge R740 8LFF 1x Xeon Gold 6134 128GB DDR4

Dell PowerEdge R740 8LFF Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server configured with eight 3.5-inch drive bays, a single Intel Xeon Gold 6134 processor running at 3.2GHz, and 128GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. It ships with a PERC H730P RAID controller and a 10GbE dual-port network adapter. This system suits organisations that need dense local storage capacity in a standard rack footprint.

Upgrade From Single-Processor Or Smaller-Bay Chassis

The R740 supports a second Xeon Scalable processor, so buyers running a single-socket server can double compute threads without changing chassis. Moving from a 4-bay or 2.5-inch platform adds up to four additional 3.5-inch drives for larger capacity per spindle. The jump is worth it when workloads demand more memory channels, more PCIe lanes, or more raw terabytes in the same rack units.

Build Around Dual 750W Supplies

Two 750-watt power supplies provide redundancy for the installed CPU, memory, controller and drives you add. The iDRAC9 Enterprise licence enables full remote console, virtual media and automation APIs, freeing administrators from physical visits. Eight hot-plug bays accept SATA drives directly behind the front bezel, while the PERC H730P handles RAID levels without consuming a PCIe slot.
