Dell PowerEdge R740 8LFF dual Xeon server
The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack-mount server system built for data-centre deployment. It ships with two Intel Xeon Silver 4116 processors running at 2.1GHz and 32GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. The chassis provides eight 3.5-inch large-form-factor drive bays and includes a PERC H730P RAID controller. Remote management is handled by iDRAC9 with an Enterprise licence.
Suited for virtualisation hosts
This configuration suits teams that need dense 3.5-inch storage capacity and dual-socket compute in a standard rack footprint. The integrated graphics and 10GbE 562T adapter support typical infrastructure tasks without extra cards. Buyers who require pre-installed drives, GPU acceleration, or a smaller form factor should look at other platforms. The maximum memory ceiling of 3TB allows future expansion when budgets allow.
Sustained load behaviour with dual 750W supplies
Under continuous load the dual 750W power supplies share demand while the PERC H730P manages RAID parity calculations across all populated bays. The two 12-core Xeon Silver 4116 CPUs maintain 2.1GHz base frequency across 24 threads, and the DDR4 memory subsystem delivers ECC protection during extended operations. Firmware is updated to the latest stable release before shipment, and a full burn-in test verifies thermal stability.

Questions about this item
What drive bays does the R740 8LFF provide for the storage drives I must supply?
The chassis has eight 3.5 inch bays that accept SATA drives; no drives are included with this unit.
Can I keep using my existing PERC H730P RAID controller with the dual Xeon Silver 4116 processors installed?
Yes, the server ships with a PERC H730P RAID controller already installed and it supports the two 2.1GHz Xeon Silver 4116 CPUs.
How do I confirm the iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management is active after the firmware update?
Connect to the iDRAC network port, log in, and verify the license status shows Enterprise; the BIOS and firmware are updated to the latest stable version before shipping.
