Dell PowerEdge R740 8LFF Server
The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack-mount server system built around two Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors running at 2.1 GHz. It ships with 128 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H730P RAID controller. Eight 3.5-inch drive bays support SATA hard drives, and remote management is handled by iDRAC9 with an Enterprise licence.
Suited for dense storage workloads
This configuration suits organisations that need high core counts and large memory capacity in a compact 2U form factor for virtualisation, database or storage-heavy applications. Buyers who require pre-installed drives, GPU acceleration, or a different drive-bay count should look at alternative configurations.
Dual Xeon Platinum 8160 24-core CPUs
The two Xeon Platinum 8160 processors provide 24 cores each with 33 MB cache, delivering the compute density that defines whether this server matches the workload. Memory can scale to 3 TB of DDR4 across the platform.

Questions about this item
How loud and hot does the R740 get when both Xeon Platinum 8160 CPUs run at full load all day?
The chassis uses two 750 W power supplies and integrated graphics; Dell does not publish a single noise or thermal figure for this configuration.
Which storage drives and caddies must I already own to populate the eight 3.5-inch bays?
The bays accept SATA drives and the PERC H730P controller manages them; drives and Dell 3.5-inch caddies are not included.
Will my existing DDR4 ECC Registered modules work alongside the 128 GB already installed?
Yes, the system uses DDR4 ECC Registered memory up to 3 TB total; match speed and rank for best compatibility.
