Chassis 8x3.5" Rack Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server populated with two Intel Xeon Silver 4114 processors running at 2.2GHz. It ships with 1TB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H730P RAID controller. The 8LFF chassis accepts up to eight 3.5-inch SATA drives, which are not included.

Suits high-capacity storage workloads

This configuration targets environments that need dense 3.5-inch drive bays and large memory capacity for virtualisation or database tasks. Integrated graphics and the 10GbE 562T adapter handle remote management and network throughput. Buyers who require 2.5-inch bays or a GPU-equipped chassis should evaluate other platforms.

8 LFF drive bays define capacity

The single specification that determines fit is the eight 3.5-inch drive bays. They set the maximum raw storage ceiling and dictate the physical drive form factor. No drives are installed, so the buyer must populate the bays to activate the PERC H730P array.

Questions about this item

How many 3.5-inch drive bays does the R740 chassis provide for the PERC H730P controller?

The chassis supports up to 8 bays for 3.5-inch drives, matching the 8LFF designation in the product name.

What is the common mistake when seating the two Xeon Silver 4114 processors and 1TB of DDR4 ECC memory?

Installers sometimes leave the second CPU socket empty or populate memory slots unevenly across the two processors, which prevents the system from posting.

Which components will need replacement once the 1-year warranty expires?

The two 750W power supplies and the PERC H730P RAID controller are the primary field-replaceable units that typically require attention after the warranty period.
