Rack server with eight 3.5-inch bays
The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack-mount server that holds up to eight 3.5-inch SATA drives and ships with a PERC H730P RAID controller. It arrives with one Xeon Silver 4210 processor running at 2.2 GHz and 64 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. The platform supports a second CPU and can scale to 3 TB of RAM for growing workloads. Integrated graphics and a 10 GbE two-port 562T adapter handle display and network duties out of the box.
Sustained throughput with dual 750 W supplies
Two 750 W power supplies share the load so the system maintains full performance during extended compute or storage tasks. The H730P controller manages RAID across all eight bays without throttling under continuous write pressure. iDRAC9 Enterprise provides remote monitoring and firmware updates without taking the host offline. ECC memory corrects single-bit errors in real time, keeping long-running jobs stable.
Replaces older two-socket racks when density matters
This configuration upgrades from single-socket or four-bay servers that cannot reach 3 TB memory or eight-drive capacity. The jump is worth it when applications need more cores, larger datasets or hardware RAID across many spindles. Buyers who only need a few terabytes of storage or a single CPU will find the extra bays and second-socket headroom unused.

Questions about this item
How much power do the two 750 W supplies draw when the R740 runs continuously?
Each supply is rated at 750 W; actual draw depends on the workload and on whether one or both processors are installed.
Which drives and caddies must I supply to populate the eight 3.5-inch bays?
The chassis accepts 3.5-inch SATA drives; drives and carrier trays are not included and must be sourced separately.
Will the integrated graphics and iDRAC9 work with a legacy KVM switch over IP?
Integrated graphics provide local video, while iDRAC9 Enterprise gives a dedicated remote console that operates independently of any KVM.
