PowerEdge R740 8LFF dual Xeon Silver 4116

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack-mount server system built for enterprise workloads. It arrives with two Intel Xeon Silver 4116 processors running at 2.1GHz, each providing twelve cores and 16.5MB of cache. A total of 384GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory is installed across the available slots. The chassis supports up to eight 3.5-inch SATA drive bays and includes a PERC H730P RAID controller.

Suited for memory-intensive virtualisation

This configuration fits organisations that need high core counts and large memory capacity in a standard rack footprint. Remote management is handled by iDRAC9 with an Enterprise licence, and a 10GbE two-port 562T adapter is fitted for fast network connectivity. Buyers who require installed storage drives, GPU compute capacity or a tower form factor should consider other platforms.

Eight 3.5-inch SATA bays with PERC H730P RAID

The single specification that determines fit is the storage subsystem: eight large-form-factor bays wired to a hardware RAID controller with SATA interface. No drives are included, so the buyer must supply compatible SATA disks or SSDs. Maximum memory capacity reaches 3TB, allowing future expansion beyond the 384GB installed today.

Questions about this item

How much power do the dual Xeon Silver 4116 CPUs draw under full load?

Each Xeon Silver 4116 is a 12‑core processor running at 2.1 GHz with 16.5 MB cache; the pair is fed by two 750 W power supplies that share the load.

What drive trays or caddies are required to populate the eight 3.5″ bays?

The chassis accepts eight 3.5″ SATA drives; Dell 3.5″ hot‑plug caddies are needed for each bay and are not included.

Will the PERC H730P RAID controller work with older SATA SSDs I already own?

The H730P supports SATA SSDs and HDDs; it presents them to the OS as standard block devices compatible with existing drives.
