Dell PowerEdge R740 8-bay 2U rack server

This Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack-mount server equipped with two Intel Xeon Bronze 3106 processors running at 1.7GHz and 768GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. It provides eight 3.5-inch large form factor drive bays and includes a Dell PERC H730P RAID controller. Remote management is handled by iDRAC9 with an Enterprise licence and a 10GbE dual-port 562T adapter is installed.

Suited for memory-heavy workloads on a budget

The dual 8-core CPUs and 768GB of RAM make this platform a fit for virtualisation hosts, in-memory databases or analytics jobs that need large capacity without the cost of higher-tier Xeons. Buyers who need more than two processors, faster single-thread performance or GPU acceleration for compute tasks will need a different server class.

Eight 3.5-inch bays with PERC H730P RAID

The chassis supports up to eight 3.5-inch SATA drives connected to the PERC H730P controller, which provides hardware RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. No drives are installed, so the buyer must supply storage that matches the SATA interface and 3.5-inch form factor to use the available bays.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box and what must be purchased separately?

The server ships with two Xeon Bronze 3106 processors, 768 GB DDR4 ECC memory, a PERC H730P RAID controller, a 10 GbE 562T dual-port adapter, two 750 W power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise. No 3.5-inch drives or rail kit are included; both are optional extras.

Which drive capacity should I choose for the eight 3.5-inch bays?

Each bay accepts SATA drives up to the capacity you select; with the PERC H730P you can build RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 or 60 across the eight slots. Choose drive sizes that match your total storage target and redundancy level.

What does the 1.7 GHz clock speed mean for real workloads?

Each Xeon Bronze 3106 has 8 cores at 1.7 GHz with 11 MB cache, giving 16 cores total. The base frequency suits steady multi-threaded tasks such as virtualization, databases or file services rather than bursty single-thread peaks.
