Dell PowerEdge R740 8-Bay Rack Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack-mount server system built for enterprise workloads. It ships with a single Intel Xeon Bronze 3104 processor running at 1.7 GHz and 128 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. The chassis supports up to eight 3.5-inch SATA drive bays and includes a PERC H730P RAID controller. Remote management is handled by iDRAC9 with an Enterprise licence.

Suited for single-socket deployments needing high

This configuration fits environments that require large memory footprints such as virtualisation hosts, database nodes or application servers running on a single CPU. The eight-bay chassis provides ample internal storage expansion using SATA drives. Buyers who need dual-processor compute density or storage interfaces beyond SATA should evaluate alternative platforms.

Eight 3.5-inch drive bays with PERC H730P RAID

The defining specification is the 8-bay 3.5-inch backplane paired with the PERC H730P controller, which determines how many drives you can install and which RAID levels are available. The system ships without drives so you can populate the bays with SATA HDDs or SSDs matched to your capacity and performance requirements.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 8-drive 3.5-inch chassis or a smaller bay count?

The R740 chassis fits eight 3.5-inch drives; choose it when you need maximum internal capacity, otherwise a 2.5-inch variant offers more bays in the same rack space

What does the 1.7 GHz Xeon Bronze 3104 deliver in this server?

One 6-core Bronze 3104 at 1.7 GHz with 8.25 MB cache handles light virtualisation and file services; a second socket can be added later for heavier workloads

How does the PERC H730P controller limit drive performance?

The H730P connects the eight bays over SATA and manages RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50; each drive runs at SATA interface speed
