Rack server with dual Bronze CPUs
The Dell PowerEdge R740 arrives as a 2U rackmount system populated with two Intel Xeon Bronze 3104 processors running at 1.7 GHz. It ships with 128 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H730P RAID controller, while the eight 3.5-inch drive bays remain empty for customer-supplied SATA drives. Integrated graphics and a 10 GbE two-port 562T adapter handle display and network duties.
Suits capacity-focused workloads.
This configuration fits buyers who need a large drive count and hardware RAID in a compact 2U form factor, such as backup repositories, archival storage or modest virtualisation clusters. The dual six-core Bronze chips provide limited single-thread performance, so organisations chasing high-frequency compute, GPU acceleration or dense all-flash arrays should evaluate alternative platforms.
Eight 3.5-inch SATA bays define storage scope
The chassis offers eight hot-plug 3.5-inch bays wired to the PERC H730P controller over SATA, capping each drive at the 6 Gb/s interface speed. With no drives installed, the buyer must supply compatible SATA HDDs or SSDs to activate any storage capacity.
