Dell PowerEdge R740 8-bay rack server

This Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server equipped with eight 3.5-inch drive bays. It ships with two Intel Xeon Bronze 3106 processors running at 1.7 GHz and 128 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. A PERC H730P RAID controller and dual 750 W power supplies are installed.

Suits storage-heavy workloads.

The eight large-form-factor bays and SATA interface make this system a fit for bulk storage, backup targets or archive workloads. Integrated graphics and the absence of GPU support mean it is not for buyers who require hardware-accelerated compute or visualisation.

Eight 3.5-inch drive bays define capacity potential

The chassis provides eight hot-plug bays for 3.5-inch SATA drives, so the maximum raw capacity depends entirely on the drives you populate. No drives are included, so the storage controller and bay count are the specifications that decide whether this server matches your capacity plan.

What is the maximum sustained power draw the dual 750W supplies can deliver?

Two 750W power supplies provide redundant power for the dual 1.7GHz Xeon 3106 processors and PERC H730P controller.

How loud are the fans when the R740 runs 24/7 under load?

The 2U chassis uses redundant cooling tuned for the 36 x 24 x 10 in form factor and dual CPU thermal profile.
