Dell PowerEdge R740 8LFF Server

This Dell PowerEdge R740 rackmount server ships with two Intel Xeon Silver 4214 processors running at 2.2GHz and 128GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. It is built for organisations that need a 2U platform with eight 3.5-inch drive bays and a PERC H730P RAID controller. The system includes an iDRAC9 Enterprise licence for remote management and dual 750W power supplies.

Who this suits and who should look elsewhere

This configuration suits IT teams deploying virtualisation hosts, database nodes or storage-heavy workloads that benefit from twelve cores per processor and large memory capacity. Buyers who require GPU acceleration, a smaller tower form factor or a different drive-bay count should evaluate other platforms.

The specification that decides fit

The chassis provides eight 3.5-inch SATA drive bays connected to the PERC H730P controller, so the usable capacity and RAID level depend entirely on the drives you install.

Questions about this item

Do I need to supply my own 3.5" SATA drives for the eight drive bays?

Yes, the chassis provides eight 3.5" bays and the listing states no drives are installed, so you must add SATA drives yourself.

Will my existing PERC H730P RAID configuration import without changes?

The server includes a PERC H730P controller, so an existing H730P RAID set can be moved in and recognised immediately.

How do I confirm both Xeon Silver 4214 CPUs and all 128 GB of DDR4 are detected after first boot?

Open the iDRAC9 interface or enter the BIOS; both will show two 4214 processors at 2.2 GHz and 128 GB of registered DDR4 memory.
