Dual-processor rack server for compute-intensive
The Dell PowerEdge R740 8LFF chassis arrives new with two Intel Xeon 5118 processors installed, each running at 2.3GHz with 12 cores and 16.5MB cache. It includes 128GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H730P RAID controller, ready for storage to be added to the eight 3.5-inch drive bays.
Eight 3.5-inch drive bays with SATA interface
The single specification that determines fit is the 8LFF chassis, which accepts up to eight 3.5-inch drives over a SATA connection. No drives are installed, so buyers must supply their own SATA hard disks or SSDs to populate the backplane and configure the PERC H730P controller.
Sustained operation with dual 750W supplies
Under continuous load the system draws power from two 750W supplies while the iDRAC9 Enterprise licence provides remote monitoring and firmware updates. Integrated graphics handle basic display output, and a 10GbE two-port 562T adapter maintains network throughput during extended compute tasks.

Questions about this item
What does 128GB of DDR4 mean for actual workloads on this R740?
The installed 128GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory runs at the platform speed supported by the two Xeon 5118 processors and can be expanded up to the 3TB maximum using the remaining DIMM slots.
How does the PERC H730P controller limit the SATA drives I can use in the eight 3.5-inch bays?
The H730P presents the eight SATA bays as a hardware RAID array with cache-backed write performance; drive capacity and mix are constrained only by the controller firmware and the 3.5-inch form factor.
What hardware is required to mount the 36 x 24 x 10 inch chassis in a rack?
The 2U chassis includes mounting ears for a standard four-post rack and a compatible Dell rail kit is available on request to secure the 40-pound unit during installation.
