Dell PowerEdge R740 8LFF Server

This Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack-mount server system designed for data-centre workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Silver 4114 processors running at 2.2GHz and 256GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. The chassis supports up to eight 3.5-inch SATA drive bays and includes a PERC H730P RAID controller.

Suits virtualisation and database hosts needing

The eight-bay LFF chassis and dual 10-core CPUs make it a fit for storage-heavy applications and traditional virtualisation clusters. Buyers who need 2.5-inch bay density, GPU compute or more than two processor sockets should look at a different platform.

Eight 3.5-inch drive bays with PERC H730P RAID

The single specification that decides fit is the 8-bay LFF backplane paired with the H730P controller. It defines how many large-form-factor SATA drives you can install and the RAID levels available. Confirm your storage capacity and redundancy needs match this bay count and controller before purchase.

Questions about this item

What rack-mount rails or cabinet depth do I need to install this 36-inch deep R740?

The chassis is 36 inches deep and fits standard racks; a Dell rail kit is available on request.

Can the PERC H730P controller manage the SATA drives I already own?

The PERC H730P supports SATA drives and provides RAID capability for the eight 3.5-inch bays.

How do I confirm the dual Xeon Silver 4114 CPUs and 256GB DDR4 are detected after power-on?

Check the iDRAC9 Enterprise interface or BIOS POST screen; both will list two 10-core 2.2GHz processors and 256GB DDR4 ECC Registered memory.
