Dell PowerEdge R740 8LFF Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack-mount server system built for data-centre workloads. It ships with one Intel Xeon Silver 6130 processor running at 2.1GHz and 256GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. The chassis supports up to eight 3.5-inch SATA drive bays and includes a PERC H730P RAID controller. Remote management is provided by iDRAC9 Enterprise licence.

Suits virtualisation hosts

This configuration fits buyers who need dense 3.5-inch drive capacity and dual-processor headroom in a 2U form factor. The single 16-core CPU and 256GB RAM handle moderate virtualisation clusters and database nodes. Buyers who need GPU acceleration or more than two processors should look at a different platform because the chassis maxes out at two CPUs and uses integrated graphics only.

Eight 3.5-inch SATA drive bays with PERC H730P

The defining spec is the 8LFF chassis that accepts up to eight 3.5-inch SATA drives backed by the PERC H730P controller. This layout determines whether the server can hold the local storage volume your workload requires. No drives are installed, so you must add the exact capacity and redundancy level the project demands.

Questions about this item

Will the 2.1 GHz Xeon Silver 6130 throttle under continuous load with only two 750 W power supplies?

The server ships with two 750 W supplies providing redundancy for the single 6130 processor and 256 GB DDR4 memory under sustained workloads.

How loud are the fans when the R740 runs 24/7 in an 8-bay 3.5" chassis?

Fan speed scales with inlet temperature and component load; the iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management lets you monitor thermal readings and adjust fan profiles remotely.

What drive trays and cables are required to populate the eight 3.5" SATA bays?

The chassis accepts standard 3.5" SATA drives; the PERC H730P RAID controller handles the backplane connections, and the unit ships without drives or trays.
