Dell PowerEdge R740 8LFF dual Xeon server

This Dell PowerEdge R740 rack server ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 6226 processors running at 2.7 GHz and twelve cores each. It includes 512 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H730P RAID controller. The 8 LFF chassis supports up to eight 3.5-inch SATA drives, which are not installed. Remote management is provided by iDRAC9 Enterprise and dual 750 W power supplies are fitted.

Ideal for dense storage workloads

The eight 3.5-inch bays suit organisations that need high-capacity SATA storage in a 2 U rack footprint. The dual-socket design and 512 GB DDR4 support memory-intensive virtualisation or database tasks. Buyers who require GPU acceleration, a different drive-bay count, or drives included from the factory should evaluate other platforms.

PERC H730P RAID controller

The installed PERC H730P controller manages RAID across the eight SATA drive bays and determines which RAID levels and stripe sizes are available. Confirm that its feature set matches your storage redundancy and performance requirements before purchase.

Questions about this item

How loud and hot does the R740 run when both Xeon Gold 6226 CPUs at 2.7 GHz and 512 GB DDR4 are under continuous load?

The chassis uses dual 750 W supplies and eight 3.5-inch drive bays; sustained load will draw significant power and generate noticeable fan noise typical of a 2U rack server.

Which components are not included and must be supplied separately for the server to boot and store data?

No drives are installed; you must provide SATA hard drives or SSDs for the eight 3.5-inch bays and the PERC H730P RAID controller.

Will the PERC H730P controller and integrated graphics work with older SATA drives and legacy operating systems I already run?

The H730P supports SATA drives and the integrated graphics provide basic video; older drives and OSes that support standard SATA RAID should function.
