Dell PowerEdge R740 8LFF Server
This 2U rack server ships with a single Xeon Bronze 3106 processor at 1.7GHz and 64GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. The chassis provides eight 3.5-inch drive bays wired to a PERC H730P RAID controller with SATA interface. Remote management is handled by iDRAC9 Enterprise, and dual 750W power supplies are installed.
Suits storage-heavy workloads needing many bays
Buyers who need a second processor for heavier compute should look elsewhere, as only one of two sockets is populated. The configuration arrives without any drives, so teams wanting a ready-to-run storage array must add disks separately. Integrated graphics and 10GbE networking are fixed, leaving no room for discrete GPU or additional network cards.
Eight 3.5-inch drive bays with PERC H730P RAID
The backplane supports up to eight SATA drives behind a single hardware RAID controller, which is the deciding factor for capacity planning. No drives are included, so the usable storage total depends entirely on the disks you install.

Questions about this item
What rack depth does the 36-inch server require for mounting?
The chassis measures 36 inches deep, so the rack must provide at least that much clear depth plus cable space at the rear.
How is the PERC H730P controller connected to the eight 3.5-inch drive bays?
The controller uses internal SATA cables routed to the backplane; the step often missed is seating each cable firmly on both the controller and backplane connectors before powering on.
What memory type is needed when expanding beyond the installed 64 GB?
Additional modules must be DDR4 ECC registered DIMMs to match the installed memory and the platform's supported memory type.
