Dual-Socket Rack Server
The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rackmount server equipped with two Intel Xeon Silver 4108 processors running at 1.8GHz and 32GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. It ships without drives, allowing the buyer to populate up to eight 3.5-inch SATA bays. The PERC H730P RAID controller and dual 750W power supplies are installed. iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management is included.
Virtualisation Hosts Not High-Frequency Workloads
This configuration suits organisations consolidating virtual machines or running memory-bound databases that benefit from sixteen total cores and ECC memory integrity. Buyers who need higher single-thread frequency or GPU acceleration should look at different platforms. The integrated graphics and 10GbE 562T adapter cover basic display and network needs without extra cards.
Eight 3.5-Inch Drive Bays
The chassis provides eight large-form-factor bays wired to the PERC H730P controller, so storage capacity and redundancy are defined entirely by the drives you install. No drives are included in this listing. Maximum system memory reaches 3TB when all DIMM slots are populated.

Questions about this item
Should I choose the 8 LFF bays or a smaller bay count for this R740?
The chassis provides eight 3.5-inch bays, giving the highest raw capacity for 3.5-inch SATA drives in this model.
What does the 1.8 GHz clock on the two Xeon Silver 4108 CPUs deliver in a live workload?
Each 4108 has eight cores at 1.8 GHz with 11 MB cache, so the pair provides sixteen threads for multi-threaded applications.
How does the PERC H730P controller limit the SATA drives I can use?
The H730P manages RAID across the eight bays and connects to drives through the SATA interface.
