8-bay 3.5" Rack Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack-mount server configured with eight 3.5-inch drive bays and a single Intel Xeon Silver 4210 processor running at 2.2 GHz with ten cores. It ships with 256 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H730P RAID controller. No hard drives are installed, allowing the buyer to populate storage as required.

Ideal for storage-heavy workloads

This configuration suits organisations that need dense 3.5-inch capacity in a standard rack footprint, such as file serving, backup repositories or archive workloads. The single CPU leaves a second socket free for future expansion. Buyers who require more than eight drive bays, installed drives out of the box or a second processor already fitted should consider other configurations.

PERC H730P RAID Controller

The installed PERC H730P controller manages the eight SATA drive bays and provides hardware RAID functionality for the storage array. It determines which RAID levels are available and how many physical drives can be grouped. Verify that this controller matches your intended RAID topology before purchase.

Questions about this item

How much heat and power do the two 750 W supplies draw when the R740 runs 24/7?

Each 750 W unit feeds the single Xeon Silver 4210 and 256 GB DDR4; actual draw depends on workload but the redundant pair keeps the server running if one fails.

Which drive caddies and cables must I already have to populate the eight 3.5" bays?

The chassis accepts eight 3.5" SATA drives and the PERC H730P controller manages them; you need Dell 3.5" caddies and SATA data cables for each bay you fill.

Will my existing DDR4 ECC RDIMMs work alongside the installed 256 GB?

Yes — the board has 24 DDR4 slots supporting up to 3 TB total, so compatible ECC registered modules can be added to the current 256 GB.
