Rack server for compute and storage

The Dell PowerEdge R740 chassis holds eight 3.5-inch drive bays and ships with a single Xeon Bronze 3104 processor at 1.7 GHz. 256 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory is installed across the available slots. The system supports a second processor and up to 3 TB of total memory for expanded workloads.

PERC H730P RAID controller and 10 GbE adapter

The bundled PERC H730P controller manages SATA drives in RAID configurations and provides hardware acceleration for parity operations. An onboard 10 GbE 2-port 562T adapter delivers high-throughput networking without occupying a PCIe slot. Both components are integrated and firmware current.

Two 750 W supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise

Dual 750 W power supplies share the load and allow one unit to fail without downtime. iDRAC9 Enterprise enables remote power control, console redirection and full lifecycle management over a dedicated network port. No drive carriers or rails are included; those must be sourced separately.

Questions about this item

How many 3.5-inch drive bays remain free for future storage expansion?

The chassis supports up to 8 drive bays and no drives are installed, so all 8 bays are available for adding SATA storage later.

What is the maximum thermal design power the installed Xeon Bronze 3104 can draw under sustained load?

The single Xeon Bronze 3104 processor runs at 1.7 GHz with 6 cores and an 8.25 MB cache, defining the CPU power ceiling for continuous workloads.

How much power do the two 750 W supplies draw when the server runs 24/7 with a full drive complement?

Dual 750 W power supplies provide redundant power for the R740 chassis, 256 GB DDR4 memory, PERC H730P controller and 10 GbE 562T adapter during all-day operation.
