Dell PowerEdge R740 8-bay server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server fitted with two Xeon Gold 6138 processors running at 2.0 GHz and 64 GB of DDR4 memory. It provides eight 3.5-inch drive bays served by a PERC H730P RAID controller and includes iDRAC9 Enterprise for remote management. The unit ships without hard drives so you can populate the bays with the SATA capacity you need.

Suits compute-heavy workloads and virtualisation

This configuration delivers 40 cores and 27.5 MB of cache per processor, making it suitable for database hosts, virtualisation clusters or rendering nodes that demand high thread counts. Buyers who need GPU acceleration, 10 GbE networking beyond the fitted 562T adapter, or a chassis smaller than 2U should evaluate alternative platforms.

Dual Xeon Gold 6138 CPUs define the performance

With two 20-core chips installed and the maximum processor count already reached, the CPU complex cannot be expanded further. Memory can grow to 3 TB using DDR4 modules, but the processing foundation is fixed at the 6138 specification. Confirm that this core count and clock speed match your licensing and workload requirements before purchase.

Questions about this item

Do I need to supply my own 3.5-inch SATA drives for the eight drive bays?

Yes, the server ships with no drives installed and the PERC H730P controller uses a SATA interface for the eight 3.5-inch bays, so you must provide compatible drives.

Will the installed PERC H730P RAID controller recognise SATA drives I have used in older Dell servers?

The PERC H730P supports SATA drives, so drives from earlier Dell systems that use the same SATA interface should be recognised once installed in the 3.5-inch bays.

How can I confirm the two Xeon Gold 6138 CPUs and 64 GB of DDR4 memory are detected after first boot?

Check the iDRAC9 Enterprise interface or the BIOS POST screen — both will list the two 2.0 GHz 20-core processors and show 64 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory.
