Dell PowerEdge R740 8LFF dual Xeon server

This Dell PowerEdge R740 rack server ships new with two Intel Xeon Platinum 8268 processors running at 2.9 GHz. Each CPU provides 24 cores and 35.75MB cache for demanding workloads. The system includes 256GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H730P RAID controller.

Suits dense 3.5-inch storage deployments

The 8LFF chassis supports up to eight 3.5-inch SATA drives for high-capacity arrays. Remote management is handled by iDRAC9 Enterprise and a 10GbE 562T dual-port adapter is installed. Buyers who need 2.5-inch bays or a different drive count should look at another chassis.

256GB DDR4 ECC registered memory installed

The configured RAM uses DDR4 technology with error-correcting code for data integrity. Maximum supported capacity reaches 3TB across the available slots. Verify your application's memory requirements against this starting configuration before purchase.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the 2x Xeon Platinum 8268 CPUs at 2.9 GHz and 256GB DDR4 are recognised after power-on?

Check the iDRAC9 Enterprise interface and BIOS POST screen; both will display the two 24-core processors running at 2.9 GHz and the full 256GB DDR4 ECC registered memory.

What components ship inside the 8LFF chassis and which items such as 3.5" drives or rail kit must be ordered separately?

The box contains the R740 chassis with 2x 750W power supplies, PERC H730P RAID controller, 10GB 2-port 562T adapter, iDRAC9 Enterprise, 256GB DDR4 and both CPUs; 3.5" SATA drives and rail kit are not included.

Which drive-count version should I choose if I need the maximum 8-bay 3.5" SATA capacity for this R740?

Select the 8LFF configuration; it provides eight 3.5" hot-plug bays backed by the PERC H730P controller, matching the highest internal storage density this model supports.
