DELL PowerEdge R740 8LFF 2x Xeon Silver 4110 256GB DDR4 rack server

Dual-socket Xeon rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 fits a 2U rack space and holds two Intel Xeon Silver 4110 processors running at 2.1GHz. Each CPU provides eight cores with 11MB cache. The system ships with 256GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and supports expansion up to 3TB. Eight 3.5-inch drive bays are wired to a PERC H730P RAID controller for SATA storage arrays.

Dual 750W supplies and iDRAC9

Redundant 750-watt power supplies share the load and keep the server running if one unit fails. Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller 9 with Enterprise licence gives full out-of-band control over IPMI, virtual console and power cycling. A 10GbE two-port 562T adapter handles high-throughput network traffic without adding a discrete card.

Tool-less rails and flexible bays

The chassis measures 36 by 24 by 10 inches and weighs 40 pounds, so standard square-hole rails slide in without tools. Eight hot-swap bays accept 3.5-inch SATA drives and can be populated in any combination the RAID controller supports. No drives are installed, letting the buyer choose capacity and redundancy to match the workload.
