8-Bay Rack Server for Dense Compute
The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack-mount server system built around two Intel Xeon Gold 6134 processors running at 3.2GHz. It ships with 768GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H730P RAID controller. The 8LFF chassis supports up to eight 3.5-inch SATA drives, though no drives are installed in this configuration. Integrated graphics and an iDRAC9 Enterprise licence provide remote management out of the box. Dual 750W power supplies deliver redundant power.
Suits Virtualisation and Database Workloads
This server fits organisations that need high core counts and large memory capacity for virtualisation clusters, in-memory databases or heavy application hosting. The twin 8-core CPUs and 768GB of DDR4 give ample headroom for consolidated workloads. Buyers who require GPU acceleration, 10GbE networking beyond the included 562T adapter, or a chassis smaller than 2U should consider other platforms. The unit weighs 40 units and measures 36 by 24 by 10 inches, so rack depth and floor loading must be verified.
3TB Maximum Memory Defines Upgrade Path
The platform supports up to 3TB of DDR4 across its DIMM slots, so the installed 768GB leaves significant room for growth. This ceiling is the key figure when planning future capacity for memory-intensive applications. The PERC H730P controller handles RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across the eight drive bays. Firmware and BIOS are updated to the latest stable release before shipment.

Questions about this item
What operating system drive do I need to add before the PERC H730P can boot the R740?
The server ships with no drives installed; you must supply at least one 3.5" SATA drive or SSD for the OS and any RAID array.
Will my existing 3.5" SATA drives work with the eight drive bays and the H730P controller?
Yes, the chassis accepts eight 3.5" SATA drives and the H730P supports SATA RAID across all bays.
How do I confirm the 768 GB of DDR4 and both Xeon Gold 6134 CPUs are detected after first power-on?
Open the iDRAC9 web interface or watch the POST screen; both show each CPU at 3.2 GHz and the full 768 GB memory total.
