Dell PowerEdge R740 8-bay rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack-mount server system built for data-centre workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Silver 4110 processors running at 2.1GHz and 1TB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. The chassis supports up to eight 3.5-inch drive bays and includes a PERC H730P RAID controller. Remote management is provided by iDRAC9 Enterprise.

Suited to virtualisation hosts

This configuration fits organisations that need high core counts and large memory capacity in a standard rack footprint. The dual-processor design and 3TB maximum memory ceiling support dense virtual-machine deployments. Buyers who need GPU compute, more than eight drive bays, or a tower form factor should evaluate other platforms that provide those capabilities.

Eight 3.5-inch drive bays with PERC H730P RAID

The single specification that decides fit is the 8LFF chassis combined with the PERC H730P controller. It defines how many spinning drives or SATA SSDs can be installed and which RAID levels are available. Confirm that eight bays and this controller meet your storage layout before purchase.

Questions about this item

How many 3.5-inch drive bays can I populate later?

The chassis accepts up to eight 3.5-inch SATA drives, so you can add storage as needed.

What thermal limit will the two Xeon Silver 4110 CPUs hit first under constant load?

Each processor runs at 2.1 GHz with eight cores; sustained workloads will reach the package power ceiling before memory bandwidth saturates.

How loud and hot does the 750 W power supply pair get during 24/7 operation?

Dual 750 W supplies share the load, keeping fan speeds moderate and exhaust temperatures within normal rack limits.
