Dell PowerEdge R740 8LFF server for high-density

The Dell PowerEdge R740 8LFF chassis supports up to eight 3.5-inch drive bays and ships with two Xeon Bronze 3104 processors at 1.7GHz. It includes 512GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H730P RAID controller. This configuration targets workloads that need large local capacity in a 2U rack footprint.

Check CPU socket count

The system has two processor sockets, both occupied by the installed Xeon Bronze 3104 CPUs, so no additional processors can be added. Memory is DDR4 ECC registered; verify your replacement modules match this specification exactly. The PERC H730P controller uses SATA interfaces for the eight 3.5-inch bays. No drives are installed, so you must supply compatible SATA drives.

iDRAC9 Enterprise licence enables full remote

The bundled iDRAC9 Enterprise licence provides comprehensive out-of-band management including virtual console, power control and hardware inventory. Dual 750W power supplies deliver redundancy for continuous operation. An optional rail kit can be requested separately to simplify rack installation. Firmware is updated to the latest stable version before shipment.

Questions about this item

Does the R740 8LFF arrive with any 3.5" drives or must they be purchased separately?

The chassis supports eight 3.5" bays but no drives are installed; you must add SATA drives yourself.

Should I pick the 512GB DDR4 configuration or expand toward the 3TB maximum?

The system ships with 512GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and can scale to 3TB if your workloads demand more capacity.

What does the dual Xeon Bronze 3104 1.7GHz setup deliver in a live R740?

Two six-core Bronze 3104 CPUs at 1.7GHz provide twelve total cores with 8.25MB cache each for multi-threaded server tasks.
