DELL PowerEdge R740 8LFF 2x Xeon Gold 6138 256GB DDR4

Dell PowerEdge R740 8-Bay Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack-mounted server system equipped with two Intel Xeon Gold 6138 processors running at 2.0 GHz. It ships with 256GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a Dell PERC H730P RAID controller installed. The chassis supports up to eight 3.5-inch SATA drive bays, though no drives are included in this configuration. Remote management is provided via iDRAC9 with an Enterprise licence.

Suits Virtualisation and Database Workloads

This server suits organisations running virtualised environments, database applications, or high-thread-count workloads that benefit from 20 cores per processor and a large memory footprint. The eight 3.5-inch bays provide capacity for substantial local storage arrays. Buyers who need direct-attached PCIe storage, GPU compute acceleration, or a compact 1U form factor should evaluate alternative platforms.

Eight 3.5-Inch Drive Bays and PERC H730P

The defining specification is the eight 3.5-inch drive bays paired with the PERC H730P controller, which determines how many drives you can install and which RAID levels are supported. Memory can be expanded to 3TB using DDR4 modules. The system includes a 10GbE 2-port 562T adapter and dual 750W power supplies. Rail kits are available on request.
