Dell PowerEdge R740 8LFF dual Xeon server

This Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack-mount server equipped with two Intel Xeon Platinum 8260L processors running at 2.4GHz and 128GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. It provides eight 3.5-inch large-form-factor drive bays driven by a PERC H730P RAID controller and includes iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management. The chassis measures 36 x 24 x 10 inches and weighs 40 pounds, shipping without drives installed.

Suited for storage-heavy workloads

The eight 3.5-inch bays and dual 24-core processors make this platform a good fit for databases, backup targets and virtualisation clusters that need high core counts and large-capacity SATA storage. Buyers who need GPU acceleration, 2.5-inch drive density or a tower form factor should evaluate other platforms.

PERC H730P RAID controller with eight 3.5-inch bays

The installed PERC H730P controller manages up to eight 3.5-inch SATA drives, defining the storage architecture for this configuration. This single specification determines whether the server matches your capacity and redundancy requirements.

Questions about this item

What rack depth and width does the 36 x 24 x 10 in chassis require?

The server measures 36 inches deep, 24 inches wide and 10 inches high, so the rack must provide at least that depth and a 24-inch mounting width.

Which cable connects the PERC H730P RAID controller to the 3.5-inch drive backplane?

The controller uses internal SATA cables that plug into the eight 3.5-inch bay backplane; the cables are included with the chassis.

When should the two 750W power supplies be replaced?

Replace a unit if the iDRAC9 Enterprise console reports a power-supply fault, fan failure or if the LED on the supply turns amber.
