Dell PowerEdge R740 8-bay server

This Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack-mount server built for compute-intensive workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Silver 4110 processors running at 2.1GHz and 64GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. The chassis supports up to eight 3.5-inch SATA drives and includes a PERC H730P RAID controller. Remote management is handled by iDRAC9 with an Enterprise licence.

Suited to virtualisation hosts and database nodes

The dual-processor layout and large memory ceiling suit virtualisation clusters, database servers and high-throughput file storage. Buyers who need more than eight drive bays or who require a different drive interface should look at other platforms. The integrated graphics and 10GbE 2-port adapter cover basic display and network needs without extra cards. Workloads demanding GPU acceleration are not a fit for this configuration.

Eight 3.5-inch SATA bays with PERC H730P

The single specification that decides fit is the eight-bay 3.5-inch SATA backplane paired with the PERC H730P controller. It defines how many spinning drives you can install and which RAID levels are available. Confirm that your storage plan matches this bay count and interface before ordering. Drives are not included and must be sourced separately.

Questions about this item

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

The unit measures 36 inches deep, 24 inches wide and 10 inches high; allow at least 36 inches of clear depth for cabling and airflow.

How are the two Xeon Silver 4110 processors seated, and what mistake do installers make?

Both CPUs are pre-installed in the dual-socket board; the common error is skipping the BIOS update after adding or reseating a processor.

When will the PERC H730P controller or the 750 W power supplies need replacement?

The H730P and dual 750 W supplies are rated for continuous operation; plan replacement only if a drive rebuild fails or a supply shows a fault LED.
