Dell PowerEdge R740 8LFF Server

This Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack-mount server system built for data-centre workloads. It ships with dual Xeon Gold 5120 processors running at 2.2GHz and 512GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. The chassis provides eight 3.5-inch drive bays driven by a PERC H730P RAID controller. Remote management is handled through iDRAC9 Enterprise.

Suits virtualisation hosts needing large memory

Buyers who want more storage bays than the eight 3.5-inch slots provided should look at a different chassis. Workloads that require GPU acceleration will not be served by the integrated graphics. Organisations needing a tower form factor or single-processor configuration will not match this 2U dual-socket design.

Eight 3.5-inch drive bays with PERC H730P controller

The R740 8LFF chassis supports up to eight 3.5-inch SATA drives connected to the installed PERC H730P RAID controller. No drives are included so the buyer must supply compatible SATA media. This bay count and controller combination determines whether the server fits the planned storage layout.

Questions about this item

What rack depth and width does the R740 8LFF chassis require?

The server measures 36 inches deep by 24 inches wide and weighs 40 pounds; verify your rack has at least that depth and can support the weight before mounting.

How do I install the PERC H730P RAID controller and the 512 GB DDR4 memory?

Insert the PERC H730P into its dedicated internal slot, then populate the 24 DIMM sockets with registered ECC DDR4 modules; the step often missed is seating every DIMM fully until the ejectors click.

Which components will need replacement first in the R740 with dual Xeon Gold 5120 CPUs?

The two 750 W power supplies and the system fans are the primary field-replaceable units; both are hot-swappable and should be monitored via iDRAC9 for early failure signs.
