Dell PowerEdge R740 8LFF Server
The Dell PowerEdge R740 8LFF is a 2U rack-mounted server system built for data-centre workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Platinum 8268 processors running at 2.9 GHz and 768 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. The chassis supports up to eight 3.5-inch drive bays and includes a PERC H730P RAID controller with an iDRAC9 Enterprise licence for remote management.
Suited for virtualisation hosts and database nodes
This configuration suits teams that need high core counts and large memory capacity in a dense 2U form factor. Buyers who require installed storage drives or GPU acceleration should look at a different configuration, as the unit ships without drives and uses integrated graphics only. Organisations needing more than two processor sockets will need a larger platform.
Dual Xeon Platinum 8268 at 2.9 GHz
The decisive specification is the pair of Xeon Platinum 8268 CPUs, each delivering 24 cores at 2.9 GHz with 35.75 MB cache. This processor choice fixes the maximum memory capacity at 3 TB and the memory type at DDR4, so the server fits workloads that scale within those limits.

Questions about this item
What rack dimensions and rail kit do I need to mount this 36 x 24 x 10 inch server?
The chassis is 36 inches deep, 24 inches wide and 10 inches high; a rail kit is available on request to fit standard square-hole racks with at least 36 inch depth.
Will my existing SATA drives work with the installed PERC H730P controller?
Yes, the PERC H730P RAID controller supports SATA hard drives in the eight 3.5 inch bays.
How can I verify the dual Xeon Platinum 8268 processors and 768 GB DDR4 memory are recognised after setup?
Log into iDRAC9 Enterprise or enter the BIOS to confirm two 24-core CPUs at 2.9 GHz and 768 GB DDR4 ECC registered memory are detected.
