Built for 3.5-inch density

This Dell PowerEdge R740 chassis accepts up to eight 3.5-inch SATA drives and ships with a PERC H730P RAID controller. Two Xeon Silver 4214R processors run at 2.4 GHz with twelve cores each. Sixty-four gigabytes of DDR4 ECC registered memory are installed, and iDRAC9 Enterprise provides remote management.

Suits storage-heavy workloads

The eight-bay 3.5-inch layout fits backup repositories, media archives or database nodes that prioritise capacity over raw IOPS. Buyers who need 2.5-inch bay density, GPU compute slots or a 1U form factor should look at a different platform.

Eight 3.5-inch bays decide fit

The single specification that determines compatibility is the 8LFF chassis supporting eight 3.5-inch SATA drives. If your deployment requires that exact bay count and drive size, this server matches; otherwise a different chassis is required.

Questions about this item

Do I need to supply my own 3.5-inch SATA drives for the eight front bays?

Yes, the chassis holds eight 3.5-inch bays and no drives are installed, so you must provide SATA drives yourself.

Will the PERC H730P RAID controller recognise older SATA drives I already own?

The PERC H730P supports SATA, so existing SATA drives will be detected and can be configured in RAID arrays.

How can I confirm the two Xeon Silver 4214R processors and 64 GB DDR4 are running correctly after installation?

Check the iDRAC9 Enterprise interface; it reports CPU count, memory total and health status once the server posts.
