Server configuration and target workloads
This Dell PowerEdge R740 rack server arrives with two Intel Xeon 5118 processors running at 2.3 GHz and 1 TB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. The chassis supports up to eight 3.5-inch drive bays and includes a PERC H730P RAID controller with SATA connectivity. Remote management is handled through iDRAC9 with an Enterprise licence. The unit is new and ships with firmware fully updated.
Suitable buyers and mismatched needs
Organisations running virtualisation, database or compute-intensive applications that benefit from 24 total cores and a large memory footprint will find this configuration appropriate. Buyers who need more than 3 TB of RAM or who require storage interfaces other than SATA should look at something else. The integrated graphics and 10 GbE 562T adapter cover basic display and networking without additional cards.
Decisive specification for compatibility
The maximum supported memory is 3 TB of DDR4 across the available DIMM slots. Any expansion must use DDR4 ECC registered modules; other memory generations or unbuffered types will not work. This limit determines whether the server can grow with your workload or if a different platform is required.

Questions about this item
How much heat and power do the two Xeon 5118 CPUs and 1 TB DDR4 produce when the server runs 24/7?
Each Xeon 5118 is a 12-core part rated at 2.3 GHz with 16.5 MB cache, and the system includes two 750 W power supplies for redundancy under full load.
Which drive caddies and cables must I already have to populate the 8 LFF bays?
The chassis accepts eight 3.5-inch SATA drives and uses the PERC H730P controller; you need compatible drive carriers and backplane cables for each bay.
Will my existing SATA drives work with the PERC H730P RAID controller in this R740?
Yes, the H730P supports SATA drives on its eight internal ports, so older SATA disks can be added directly to the 3.5-inch bays.
