DELL PowerEdge R740 8LFF 2x Xeon Silver 6130 512GB DDR4

Dell PowerEdge R740 8LFF Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack-mount server system built for data-centre workloads. It ships with dual Intel Xeon Silver 6130 processors running at 2.1GHz and 512GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. The chassis provides eight 3.5-inch drive bays driven by a PERC H730P RAID controller. Remote management is handled through an iDRAC9 Enterprise licence.

Suited for memory-intensive virtualisation

This configuration suits teams that need large memory capacity and dual-socket compute in a standard 2U form factor. The eight LFF bays support high-capacity SATA drives for bulk storage. Buyers who need a smaller 1U footprint, GPU compute density, or more than two processor sockets should evaluate alternative platforms.

Eight 3.5-inch drive bays with PERC H730P RAID

The single specification that decides fit is the eight-bay LFF chassis paired with the PERC H730P controller. It defines how many 3.5-inch SATA drives you can install and the RAID levels available. Confirm the bay count and controller match your storage design before purchase.
