DELL PowerEdge R740 8LFF 2x Xeon Silver 4214 384GB DDR4

8-bay 3.5" server with dual Xeon Silver 4214

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server populated with two Intel Xeon Silver 4214 processors running at 2.2 GHz, each providing 12 cores and 16.5 MB cache. It ships with 384 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H730P RAID controller. The chassis supports up to eight 3.5-inch SATA drives, though no drives are installed in this configuration. Remote management is handled by iDRAC9 with an Enterprise licence.

Suits memory-heavy workloads.

This platform suits virtualisation hosts, database servers and compute clusters that benefit from 24 total cores and a large DDR4 footprint. The 3 TB maximum memory capacity leaves headroom for future expansion. Buyers who need higher single-thread frequencies or more than two sockets should evaluate other architectures. The integrated graphics and 10 GbE dual-port adapter cover basic display and network requirements without extra cards.

384 GB DDR4 ECC registered memory installed

The system arrives with 384 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory populated across the available DIMM slots. This capacity directly determines how many virtual machines, containers or in-memory databases can run concurrently. Memory type and error correction are fixed by the platform, so compatibility with existing DDR4 modules is assured.
