Dell PowerEdge R740 8LFF Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack-mount server system built for data-centre workloads. It ships with a single Intel Xeon Silver 4210 processor running at 2.2GHz with 10 cores and 128GB 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 provided by iDRAC9 with an Enterprise licence.

Suitable for virtualisation hosts

This configuration suits IT teams that need a dense 3.5-inch storage platform with room to add a second processor and scale memory toward the 3TB maximum. Buyers who require populated drive bays, dual-socket performance out of the box, or a smaller form factor should evaluate other chassis options.

Eight 3.5-inch SATA drive bays define the storage

The R740 8LFF chassis provides eight large-form-factor bays connected to the PERC H730P controller, so the number of drives you install directly sets usable capacity and RAID level. No drives are included, so you must source compatible SATA disks to complete the array.

Questions about this item

How many additional DDR4 memory modules can be added to reach the 3TB maximum?

The server has 128GB installed and supports up to 3TB total DDR4 capacity. The number of additional modules depends on the DIMM density you choose.

Will the single Xeon Silver 4210 10-core processor become the performance bottleneck under sustained heavy workloads?

With one 2.2GHz 10-core CPU installed and a second socket available, the processor is the first limit under sustained heavy workloads. Adding a second 4210 doubles core count.

How loud and hot does the chassis run with two 750W power supplies operating continuously?

Dual 750W supplies and eight 3.5-inch drive bays mean fans run at server-typical speeds under load. Expect data-centre noise levels and noticeable heat output in a quiet room.
