Dell PowerEdge R740 8-bay rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server with eight 3.5-inch drive bays. It ships with two Intel Xeon Bronze 3106 processors running at 1.7 GHz and 256 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. A PERC H730P RAID controller and dual 750 W power supplies are included.

Suits high-capacity storage workloads

This configuration suits teams that need dense 3.5-inch storage in a standard rack footprint. The eight large-form-factor bays support SATA hard drives for bulk data. Buyers who require 2.5-inch drive density or a higher core count per socket should evaluate other chassis options.

Eight 3.5-inch SATA drive bays

The single specification that decides fit is the eight-bay 3.5-inch backplane wired for SATA. It determines how many large-capacity drives you can install and which drive interface is supported. Confirm your storage media matches this bay count and interface before purchasing.

Questions about this item

Will the 3.5-inch drive bays accept the SATA disks I already own?

Yes, the chassis provides eight 3.5-inch bays that use a SATA interface, so your existing SATA drives will fit and connect directly.

How can I verify the PERC H730P RAID controller is functioning after installation?

During boot the controller initialises and displays its firmware version; you can also open the iDRAC9 Enterprise interface to confirm the controller status and view any attached drives.

Does the server ship with drive trays and rails, or must I order them separately?

The unit includes two 750W power supplies, the PERC H730P controller, a 10GbE 562T two-port adapter and 256GB DDR4 ECC memory; drive trays and rail kits are not included and must be purchased separately.
