DELL PowerEdge R740 8LFF 2x Xeon Silver 4114 32GB DDR4

Dell PowerEdge R740 8-bay server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server configured with eight 3.5-inch drive bays and dual Intel Xeon Silver 4114 processors running at 2.2 GHz. Each CPU provides ten cores and 13.75 MB of cache. The system ships with 32 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory in two 16 GB modules. A PERC H730P RAID controller manages SATA storage, and an integrated 10 GbE two-port 562T adapter handles networking. Dual 750 W power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management are included.

Suited for virtualisation hosts

This configuration fits organisations that need dense 3.5-inch drive capacity and dual-socket compute in a standard rack footprint. The eight-bay chassis supports large SATA hard drives for bulk data or backup repositories. Buyers who require 2.5-inch bay density, GPU acceleration, or single-thread performance beyond the installed 2.2 GHz baseline should evaluate alternative platforms.

Eight 3.5-inch drive bays define storage scale

The chassis accommodates up to eight 3.5-inch SATA drives, making bay count the primary constraint for capacity planning. No drives are installed, so the buyer must populate bays to match workload requirements. The PERC H730P controller provides hardware RAID for the installed drives.
