Built for 8-bay storage density

The Dell PowerEdge R740 chassis fits eight 3.5-inch drives and arrives with two Xeon 5118 Gold processors at 2.3 GHz, twelve cores each with 16.5 MB cache, and 1.5 TB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. It targets buyers who need high local capacity in a 2U rack footprint and want the PERC H730P RAID controller to manage large arrays.

Check rack depth and drive supply

The unit measures 36 by 24 by 10 inches and weighs 40 pounds, so verify your rack can accept that depth and weight. No drives are installed; you must source SATA drives separately and confirm the PERC H730P firmware is current for the models you choose. The dual 750 W power supplies are already fitted.

Sustained load with dual CPUs and iDRAC9

Under continuous demand the two 12-core Xeons share the 1.5 TB DDR4 pool while the PERC H730P handles parity calculations across the full drive set. The 10 GbE 562T adapter keeps network throughput steady, and iDRAC9 Enterprise provides remote monitoring and firmware updates without taking the server offline.

Questions about this item

Does the Dell PowerEdge R740 8LFF server ship with any 3.5-inch drives or must I purchase them separately?

The server includes 8 large-form-factor bays but no drives are installed; you must supply your own 3.5-inch SATA drives.

Should I choose the 1.5 TB DDR4 configuration or upgrade toward the 3 TB maximum for virtualisation workloads?

1.5 TB DDR4 ECC registered memory is installed across 24 slots; adding modules up to the 3 TB limit lets you run more concurrent VMs.

What does the 2.3 GHz Xeon 5118 clock speed mean for database performance once the server is racked?

Two Xeon 5118 Gold processors deliver 24 cores at 2.3 GHz with 16.5 MB cache each, giving strong multi-thread throughput for database engines.
