Built for rack workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R740 8LFF server arrives new with two Xeon Gold 5120 processors at 2.2GHz and 256GB of DDR4 ECC memory. A PERC H730P RAID controller and dual 750W supplies support the 3.5-inch drive bays. Integrated graphics and a 10GbE 562T adapter handle display and network duties. iDRAC9 Enterprise provides remote management.

Verify rack depth and power

Confirm the rack can accommodate the 36-inch depth and 40-pound weight. Ensure 24-inch width and 10-inch height clearances are available. Check that facility PDUs deliver the required voltage for the dual 750W units. Validate that the operating environment meets Dell thermal specifications before installation.

Eight bays and rail-ready

The 8LFF chassis holds up to eight 3.5-inch SATA drives on the PERC H730P controller for flexible storage layouts. Slide rails are available on request for simplified rack mounting. Dual power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise enable hot-swap maintenance and remote firmware updates without physical access. Integrated graphics and 10GbE keep cabling minimal.
