Dell PowerEdge R740 8LFF dual Xeon server

This Dell PowerEdge R740 rack server is built for organisations that need high memory capacity and flexible 3.5-inch drive bays. It ships with two Intel Xeon Silver 4210 processors running at 2.2GHz and 512GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. The chassis supports up to eight large-form-factor drives and includes a PERC H730P RAID controller. Integrated graphics and an iDRAC9 Enterprise licence provide remote management out of the box.

Suited to memory-intensive workloads

This configuration suits virtualisation hosts, database nodes or backup targets that benefit from 512GB of RAM and eight hot-swap bays. Buyers who need GPU acceleration, 10GbE networking beyond the included 562T adapter, or a single-processor footprint should evaluate other platforms. The system arrives with firmware updated and no drives installed, so storage must be sourced separately.

Dual Xeon Silver 4210 processors with 10 cores each

The pair of Xeon Silver 4210 CPUs delivers 20 cores total at 2.2GHz with 13.75MB cache per processor. This core count and clock speed define the compute ceiling for the platform. Maximum memory capacity reaches 3TB across the DDR4 slots, allowing future expansion well beyond the installed 512GB.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the PERC H730P RAID controller is recognised after first boot?

During POST the controller initialisation message appears, then iDRAC9 Enterprise shows the PERC H730P firmware version and drive status in the storage inventory.

What ships with the chassis and what must I source separately?

The R740 8LFF chassis includes 2× Xeon Silver 4210 CPUs, 512 GB DDR4 ECC registered memory, PERC H730P controller, dual 750 W supplies and a 2-port 562T 10 GbE adapter; 3.5″ drives and rail kit are not included.

Which memory configuration should I choose if I need to reach the 3 TB maximum later?

The system arrives with 512 GB DDR4 installed; populate remaining DIMM slots with identical DDR4 ECC registered modules to scale toward the 3 TB limit.
