DELL PowerEdge R740 8LFF 2x Xeon Bronze 3104 1.7GHz 64GB DDR4 No Drive

Dell PowerEdge R740 8LFF Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 8LFF is a 2U rack-mount server system built for data-centre workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Bronze 3104 processors running at 1.7 GHz and 64 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. Eight 3.5-inch drive bays support SATA hard drives via a Dell PERC H730P RAID controller. Remote management is handled by an iDRAC9 Enterprise licence and a 10 GbE two-port 562T network adapter is installed. Dual 750 W power supplies provide redundancy.

Suits virtualisation hosts needing dense 3.5-inch

This configuration fits organisations that want a ready-to-deploy platform for virtualisation, database or file-serving roles where local 3.5-inch capacity is a priority. The dual-socket design and 3 TB maximum memory ceiling give headroom for consolidated workloads. Buyers who need pre-installed drives, GPU compute, or a single-socket chassis should evaluate alternative platforms. The unit arrives with firmware updated and burn-in tested.

Eight 3.5-inch SATA bays with PERC H730P RAID

The chassis provides eight large-form-factor bays wired to a Dell PERC H730P hardware RAID controller supporting SATA drives. No drives are installed, so the buyer selects capacity and redundancy to match the application. This bay count and controller combination is the primary factor when deciding if the R740 8LFF matches the storage density and performance profile required.
