Dell PowerEdge R740 8LFF server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built for virtualisation, database and compute-heavy workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Silver 4216 processors running at 2.1GHz, each providing 16 cores and 22MB cache. The system targets IT teams that need dense 3.5-inch drive capacity in a standard rack footprint.

384GB DDR4 with 3TB ceiling

Installed memory is 384GB of DDR4 ECC registered DIMMs, leaving generous headroom toward the 3TB maximum supported by the platform. The eight 3.5-inch bays accept SATA drives managed by the PERC H730P RAID controller, so storage scales with the workload. Integrated graphics and the 10GbE 562T adapter handle display and network duties without extra cards.

iDRAC9 Enterprise and dual 750W supplies

Remote management comes from iDRAC9 with an Enterprise licence, giving full out-of-band control over firmware, power and console access. Two 750W power supplies provide redundancy for continuous operation. The chassis measures 36 by 24 by 10 inches and weighs 40 units, fitting standard racks while the optional rail kit eases installation.

Questions about this item

Will the 8 LFF 3.5-inch bays accept my existing SATA drives?

Yes, the chassis provides eight 3.5-inch bays wired to the PERC H730P controller using the SATA interface, so your current SATA drives will fit and connect directly.

How can I confirm the dual Xeon Silver 4216 CPUs and 384 GB DDR4 are recognised after power-on?

Log into the iDRAC9 Enterprise interface or watch the POST screen; both will show two 2.1 GHz 16-core processors and 384 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory.

The listing says no drives are installed; what else do I need to buy to make the server operational?

You must supply up to eight 3.5-inch SATA drives; the box already includes the PERC H730P RAID controller, two 750 W power supplies, the 10 Gb 2-port 562T network adapter and rails are available on request.
