DELL PowerEdge R740 8LFF 2x Xeon Silver 4216 768GB DDR4 No Drive

Server Configuration

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack-mount server system supplied new with two Intel Xeon Silver 4216 processors running at 2.1GHz and 768GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. A PERC H730P RAID controller and a 10GbE 562T dual-port adapter are installed. No drives are included; the chassis provides eight 3.5-inch SATA bays.

Who This Suits

Organisations that need a dual-socket Xeon platform with high core count, large memory capacity and hardware RAID for virtualisation, database or file-serving workloads will find the 16 cores and 768GB RAM well matched. The iDRAC9 Enterprise licence gives full remote management out of the box.

Who Should Look Elsewhere

Buyers who require installed storage, GPU acceleration or a form factor smaller than 2U should consider other platforms. The system ships without drives and uses integrated graphics only, so separate storage and compute additions are necessary.

Deciding Specification

The eight 3.5-inch drive bays with SATA interface and PERC H730P controller define the storage architecture; confirm that your workload fits this bay count and interface before purchasing.
