Dell PowerEdge R740 8LFF 2x Xeon Gold 6138 384GB

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server populated with two Intel Xeon Gold 6138 processors running at 2.0 GHz and 384GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. It ships without hard drives and includes a PERC H730P RAID controller with an Enterprise iDRAC9 licence for remote management.

Suited for memory-heavy workloads on SATA storage

This configuration fits virtualisation hosts, database nodes or backup targets that need large CPU core counts and high memory capacity while using 3.5-inch SATA drives. Buyers who need more than eight drive bays or a different drive interface should look at a different platform.

The PERC H730P controller limits installed drives

The onboard RAID controller and 8LFF backplane support SATA hard drives only, so the storage tier you build must use that interface. If your design requires a different drive protocol, this server will not meet the requirement.

Questions about this item

What drive interface does the PERC H730P RAID controller support on this R740?

The PERC H730P RAID controller connects to the eight 3.5-inch bays using SATA.

What rack space and clearance does the R740 8LFF chassis require?

The chassis measures 36 by 24 by 10 inches and weighs 40 pounds, fitting a standard 2U rack slot.

How is the 384 GB DDR4 memory installed and what slot rule applies?

The 384 GB DDR4 ECC registered DIMMs are pre-populated across the 24 slots; when adding memory you must fill each processor’s channels evenly.
