Server configuration
This Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built for dual-socket workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Bronze 3204 processors running at 1.9GHz and 128GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. The chassis supports up to eight 3.5-inch SATA drive bays and includes a PERC H730P RAID controller. Remote management is handled by iDRAC9 with an Enterprise licence.
Workload fit
The system suits buyers who need a dense 3.5-inch storage platform with hardware RAID and dual-CPU compute. It is not for buyers who require small-form-factor drive bays or more than two processor sockets. The integrated graphics and 10GbE 562T adapter cover basic display and network needs without extra cards.
Deciding specification
The eight-bay 3.5-inch chassis with PERC H730P defines the storage capacity ceiling. No drives are installed, so you must supply SATA drives that match the controller and bay count. Maximum memory reaches 3TB across 24 slots, but the installed 128GB is fixed unless you add modules.

Questions about this item
How can I confirm the PERC H730P RAID controller is functioning after installation?
Open the iDRAC9 Enterprise interface or the controller BIOS during POST to verify the H730P is detected, shows healthy battery status and reports all eight 3.5-inch drive bays.
What components are included and what must be purchased separately for this R740?
The server ships with two Xeon Bronze 3204 CPUs, 128 GB DDR4 ECC registered memory, the H730P RAID controller, a 10 GbE 562T dual-port adapter, two 750 W power supplies and rack rails; 3.5-inch SATA drives are not included.
Which memory capacity should I choose if I need room to grow beyond the installed 128 GB?
The R740 supports up to 3 TB of DDR4, so the current 128 GB leaves ample headroom for future expansion with additional registered ECC modules.
