Dell PowerEdge R740 8LFF Dual Xeon Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server fitted with two Intel Xeon Silver 4216 processors running at 2.1GHz and 64GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. It includes a PERC H730P RAID controller and an Ethernet 10GB 2-port 562T adapter. The chassis supports up to eight 3.5-inch SATA drive bays and ships without installed drives. Remote management is provided by iDRAC9 Enterprise. Dual 750W power supplies are installed.

Ideal for virtualisation hosts

This configuration suits teams that need high core counts and large memory capacity in a 2U form factor with room for eight 3.5-inch drives. The dual Xeon Silver 4216 CPUs provide 16 cores each with 22MB cache. Buyers who require GPU acceleration or a smaller 1U footprint should evaluate alternative platforms. The server arrives with BIOS and firmware updated to the latest stable version.

Eight 3.5-inch SATA bays define storage flexibility

The single specification that decides fit is the eight-bay 3.5-inch SATA backplane paired with the PERC H730P controller. It accepts SATA hard drives or SSDs only; other drive interfaces are not supported by this chassis. Maximum memory capacity reaches 3TB across 24 DIMM slots. Confirm that your workload matches SATA storage and 2U rack space before ordering.

Questions about this item

What rack depth does the 36 x 24 x 10 in chassis require?

The enclosure measures 36 inches deep, so a standard 42U rack with at least 36 in of usable depth and front-to-rear clearance for cable routing will accommodate it.

How are the two Xeon Silver 4216 processors and 64 GB DDR4 memory installed, and what step is often missed?

Both CPUs are factory-installed in the dual-socket board and the 64 GB of DDR4 ECC registered DIMMs populate the matching memory channels; the step people miss is enabling the memory training sequence in the BIOS after any DIMM change so the system posts at full speed.

When will the PERC H730P RAID controller battery-backed cache need replacement?

The H730P uses a lithium-ion cache backup module that typically lasts three to five years; plan to replace it when iDRAC9 reports a degraded battery status during its routine health checks.
