DELL PowerEdge R740 8LFF 2x Xeon Silver 4116 2.1GHz 128GB DDR4 rack server

PowerEdge R740 8-bay 3.5-inch rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built for dual-processor workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Silver 4116 processors running at 2.1 GHz and 128 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. Eight 3.5-inch drive bays support SATA hard drives through a PERC H730P RAID controller. Remote management is handled by iDRAC9 with an Enterprise licence.

This configuration suits workloads that need two sockets, large memory capacity and internal 3.5-inch storage density. Buyers who need GPU compute acceleration, a smaller 1U footprint or installed operating-system drives should look at other platforms. The chassis accepts up to 3 TB of DDR4 memory when fully populated.

The storage subsystem centres on the Dell PERC H730P controller managing up to eight SATA hard drives. No drives are installed, so the buyer must supply compatible 3.5-inch SATA media. This single specification determines whether the server matches the required storage architecture.
