Dell PowerEdge R740 8-bay server

This Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rackmount server system built for data-centre workloads. It arrives with a single Intel Xeon Bronze 3106 processor running at 1.7 GHz and 256 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. The chassis provides eight 3.5-inch drive bays and includes a PERC H730P RAID controller. Remote management is handled by iDRAC9 with an Enterprise licence.

Suits virtualisation hosts needing large memory

The installed 256 GB DDR4 supports dense virtual-machine deployments and memory-intensive databases. The single 8-core processor limits peak compute throughput, so buyers who need more cores or a second CPU should look elsewhere. The eight 3.5-inch bays favour high-capacity SATA drives rather than high-IOPS flash arrays.

256 GB DDR4 ECC registered memory installed

This is the decisive specification: the system ships with 256 GB of DDR4 ECC registered RAM, expandable to a maximum of 3 TB across the available slots. Confirm that your application fits within this memory footprint or plan for additional modules before deployment.

Questions about this item

Will the PERC H730P RAID controller work with my existing 3.5-inch SATA hard drives?

The PERC H730P controller supports SATA drives and the chassis provides eight 3.5-inch bays, so your current SATA drives will install and be managed by the controller.

How can I confirm the iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management is active after the server boots?

During POST the iDRAC9 firmware version appears on screen; once booted, open a browser to the iDRAC IP address and log in — the dashboard will show an Enterprise licence and full remote console access.

Which components are included in the box and which must be purchased separately?

The server ships with one Xeon Bronze 3106 processor, 256 GB DDR4 ECC registered memory, PERC H730P RAID controller, dual 750 W power supplies and a 10 GbE 2-port 562T adapter; drives and rail kit are not included and must be ordered separately.
