Dell PowerEdge R740 8LFF Server Configuration

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack-mount server system designed for data-centre deployment. It arrives with two Intel Xeon Silver 6130 processors running at 2.1GHz and 384GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. The chassis supports up to eight 3.5-inch drive bays and includes a PERC H730P RAID controller. Remote management is handled by iDRAC9 with an Enterprise licence.

Suits Virtualisation Hosts Not High Frequency

This configuration suits organisations building virtualisation hosts, database nodes or private-cloud clusters that benefit from high core counts and large memory capacity. The dual 16-core processors and 384GB RAM provide dense compute for multi-tenant workloads. Buyers who need higher single-thread clock speeds or GPU acceleration for rendering and AI training should evaluate alternative platforms.

384GB DDR4 ECC Registered Memory Installed

The system ships with 384GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory installed across the available DIMM slots. The platform supports a maximum capacity of 3TB when fully populated with supported modules. Memory operates at speeds supported by the Xeon Silver 6130 memory controller. Verify module compatibility before expanding beyond the factory configuration.

Questions about this item

Will the PERC H730P controller recognise my existing 3.5" SATA drives?

The H730P supports SATA drives in the 8 LFF bays; it will detect any standard 3.5" SATA disk you install.

How can I confirm the dual Xeon Silver 6130 CPUs and 384 GB DDR4 are active after first boot?

Open the iDRAC9 Enterprise interface or the BIOS System Information screen; both show two 2.1 GHz processors and 384 GB of registered ECC memory.

Does the chassis ship with drive caddies and rails, or must I order them separately?

The unit includes two 750 W power supplies and the PERC H730P; drive caddies for the 8 bays and the rail kit are not included and must be purchased separately.
