DELL PowerEdge R740 8LFF 2x Xeon Silver 4108 1.8GHz 768GB DDR4 rack server

Rack server with dual Xeon Silver 4108

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack-mount server system designed for data-centre workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Silver 4108 processors running at 1.8GHz and 768GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. A PERC H730P RAID controller and dual 750W power supplies are installed. The chassis supports up to eight 3.5-inch drive bays.

Suited for memory-heavy virtualisation

This configuration fits organisations running large virtual-machine farms, in-memory databases or high-thread-count applications that benefit from the 768GB DDR4 capacity. Buyers who need local storage out of the box should look elsewhere because no drives are installed. The server also lacks discrete GPU acceleration for compute or rendering workloads.

Eight 3.5-inch drive bays define storage flexibility

The 8LFF chassis provides eight bays that accept 3.5-inch SATA drives connected to the PERC H730P controller. This bay count determines how much raw capacity and RAID redundancy you can build inside the 2U form factor.
