Built for dense storage workloads

The PowerEdge R740 chassis holds up to eight 3.5-inch drive bays in a 2U rack form factor. Two Xeon Silver 4214R processors run at 2.4 GHz with twelve cores each and 16.5 MB cache. Thirty-two gigabytes of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H730P RAID controller are installed. Remote management uses iDRAC9 Enterprise.

Eight 3.5-inch bays define capacity

The single specification that decides fit is the eight large-form-factor bays served by the H730P controller over SATA. No drives ship with the unit so the buyer must supply compatible 3.5-inch media. Maximum memory reaches 3 TB across the platform but only 32 GB is populated today.

Dual 750 W supplies sustain the load

Under sustained load the twin 750 watt power supplies share demand while the 10 GbE 562T adapter maintains throughput. Firmware is updated and a full burn-in test completes before shipment. Buyers who need drives pre-installed or a different RAID level must request a custom configuration.
