8-bay 3.5-inch PowerEdge R740

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack-mount server system built for data-centre workloads. It ships with a single Intel Xeon Bronze 3106 processor running at 1.7 GHz and 128 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. The chassis provides eight 3.5-inch drive bays and a PERC H730P RAID controller for storage expansion.

Suits single-socket deployments needing room to grow

This configuration fits organisations that want a validated platform with remote management through iDRAC9 Enterprise and dual 750 W power supplies. Buyers who require two processors installed from day one or who need drives pre-populated should look at a different build.

One Xeon Bronze 3106 at 1.7 GHz with 128 GB DDR4

The installed CPU delivers eight cores and 11 MB cache, while the memory uses DDR4 technology. Max supported memory reaches 3 TB across the second socket, so the decision hinges on whether the single 1.7 GHz Bronze 3106 meets the compute target.

Questions about this item

How much power do the dual 750W supplies draw when the R740 runs continuously under load?

The server ships with two 750W power supplies; actual draw depends on the drives and workload you install, so plan for the full rated capacity on each circuit.

Which drive caddies and SATA cables are required to populate the eight 3.5-inch bays?

The chassis accepts eight 3.5-inch drives using Dell 3.5-inch hot-plug caddies; SATA data and power cables connect to the PERC H730P controller.

Will a second Xeon Bronze 3106 processor fit the empty socket without a BIOS update?

The board supports a second processor up to the maximum of two; firmware is already updated to the latest stable version before shipping.
