Server configuration
The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server fitted with two Xeon Silver 4114 processors running at 2.2 GHz and 768 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. It ships with a PERC H730P RAID controller and an Ethernet 10 GB 2-port 562T adapter, ready for integration into existing data-centre infrastructure. The chassis supports up to eight 3.5-inch SATA drive bays. Firmware is updated to the latest stable version before dispatch.
Fit for purpose
This system suits organisations that need a high core-count platform with large memory capacity for virtualisation, database or compute workloads and that plan to supply their own storage drives. Buyers who require more than eight drive spindles or who need a different drive interface should look at alternative chassis designs. The integrated GPU covers only basic display output, so graphics-intensive tasks are not supported. Maximum processor count is already reached at two sockets.
Deciding specification
The PERC H730P RAID controller determines which drive types and RAID levels can be configured, making it the key factor when matching this server to a storage plan. It manages the eight 3.5-inch SATA bays and defines the redundancy options available to the deployment.

Questions about this item
How much power does the dual 750W supply arrangement draw when the two Xeon Silver 4114 CPUs and 768GB DDR4 run continuously?
Each supply is rated at 750W; actual draw depends on workload but the redundant pair is sized for the 2.2GHz 10-core processors and full memory population.
Which drive caddies and backplane does the 8LFF chassis need so I can add my own 3.5" SATA drives?
The chassis provides eight 3.5-inch bays wired to the PERC H730P controller; you supply compatible drive carriers and SATA drives.
Will the PERC H730P controller and iDRAC9 Enterprise work with older Dell PERC5 or PERC6 cards I might keep in another server?
The H730P and iDRAC9 are current-generation Dell components; they do not share firmware or management interfaces with PERC5 or PERC6 hardware.
