Dell PowerEdge R740 8LFF Server
The Dell PowerEdge R740 8LFF is a 2U rack-mount server system built for data-centre workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Bronze 3104 processors running at 1.7 GHz and 64 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. Eight 3.5-inch drive bays support SATA hard drives via a Dell PERC H730P RAID controller. Remote management is handled by an iDRAC9 Enterprise licence and a 10 GbE two-port 562T network adapter is installed. Dual 750 W power supplies provide redundancy.
Suits virtualisation hosts needing dense 3.5-inch
This configuration fits organisations that want a ready-to-deploy platform for virtualisation, database or file-serving roles where local 3.5-inch capacity is a priority. The dual-socket design and 3 TB maximum memory ceiling give headroom for consolidated workloads. Buyers who need pre-installed drives, GPU compute, or a single-socket chassis should evaluate alternative platforms. The unit arrives with firmware updated and burn-in tested.
Eight 3.5-inch SATA bays with PERC H730P RAID
The chassis provides eight large-form-factor bays wired to a Dell PERC H730P hardware RAID controller supporting SATA drives. No drives are installed, so the buyer selects capacity and redundancy to match the application. This bay count and controller combination is the primary factor when deciding if the R740 8LFF matches the storage density and performance profile required.

Questions about this item
Will the R740 8LFF 3.5in bays accept the SATA drives from my R720?
Yes, the eight 3.5in bays use SATA and the PERC H730P controller supports the same drive interface as your R720.
How can I confirm the two Xeon Bronze 3104 CPUs and 64GB DDR4 are recognised after first boot?
Open the iDRAC9 Enterprise interface; the System > Inventory page will list both 1.7GHz 6-core processors and the full 64GB of DDR4 ECC memory.
The listing says no drive — what else do I need to buy before the server can store data?
You must purchase 3.5in SATA hard drives or SSDs; the PERC H730P RAID controller and two 750W power supplies are already installed.
