Dell PowerEdge R740 8LFF Dual Xeon Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack-mount server equipped with two Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors running at 2.1GHz and 1TB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. It includes a PERC H730P RAID controller and an Ethernet 10GB 2-port 562T adapter for high-throughput connectivity.

Ideal for virtualisation clusters

This configuration suits organisations that need maximum core count and large memory capacity within an 8-bay 3.5-inch chassis. Buyers who require pre-installed storage drives should look at other configurations, as this unit ships without drives and the installed controller uses SATA interfaces.

Eight 3.5-inch drive bays with PERC H730P RAID

The chassis provides eight large-form-factor bays connected to the H730P controller, which manages RAID levels for SATA hard drives or SSDs. This bay count and controller combination determines how much internal storage you can install and how it is protected.

Questions about this item

How many Xeon Platinum 8160 cores and cache are available for sustained workloads?

Two Xeon Platinum 8160 processors provide 24 cores each with 33 MB cache per CPU for sustained workloads.

What power draw and cooling noise should I expect from the dual 750 W supplies under continuous load?

Dual 750 W power supplies deliver redundant power; fan speed ramps with thermal load so acoustics rise during continuous operation.

Which drive trays and caddies do I need to populate the 3.5 inch bays?

The chassis accepts eight 3.5 inch SATA drives; Dell 3.5 inch hot-plug caddies are required for each installed drive.
