Dell PowerEdge R740 8LFF dual Xeon Gold 6140 server

This 2U rack system ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 6140 processors at 2.3 GHz, each providing 18 cores, and 512 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. It targets organisations that need high core density and large memory capacity for virtualisation, databases or compute clusters.

Buyers who need internal storage out of the box

The chassis supports up to eight 3.5-inch SATA drives but no drives are installed; users who want a ready-to-run array must add disks separately. It also lacks discrete GPU options, so workloads requiring accelerator cards should look elsewhere.

PERC H730P RAID controller with 10 GbE networking

The integrated PERC H730P handles RAID across the eight drive bays while a dual-port 10 GbE 562T adapter provides high-speed network connectivity without extra expansion cards.

Questions about this item

Does the PERC H730P controller limit SATA drive throughput?

The H730P presents SATA at 6 Gb/s per port, so each 3.5" bay can reach the drive's native SATA III ceiling.

What clearance does the 36 x 24 x 10 inch chassis need in a rack?

The 2U height occupies 3.5 inches vertically; allow front cable bend radius and rear exhaust space when mounting rails.

How is the iDRAC9 Enterprise licence activated after the server is racked?

Connect the dedicated management port, browse to the DHCP-assigned address, then enter the licence key in the iDRAC web UI.
