Dual Xeon Rack Server with 768GB DDR4

The Dell PowerEdge R740 arrives as a 2U rack-mount system populated with two Xeon Silver 4116 processors running at 2.1GHz. Twelve cores per CPU and 768GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory provide a high-thread platform for virtualisation or database workloads. Eight 3.5-inch drive bays and a PERC H730P RAID controller are ready for SATA storage. Integrated graphics and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management complete the base configuration.

Suits virtualisation hosts needing maximum RAM per

Teams that require discrete GPU acceleration or storage interfaces beyond SATA will not find them here because the chassis uses integrated graphics and the installed PERC H730P controller supports only SATA drives. Buyers who need more than two physical processors should also consider other platforms since the board is limited to two sockets. The 750W redundant power supplies and 10GbE 562T adapter are already fitted for immediate deployment.

Eight 3.5-inch bays with PERC H730P SATA RAID

The single specification that decides fit is the storage subsystem: eight large-form-factor bays wired to a PERC H730P controller that handles SATA drives in hardware RAID. No other drive interface is supported by the installed card so the buyer must plan around SATA HDDs or SSDs. Memory capacity reaches 3TB across 24 slots when fully populated.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the PERC H730P RAID controller and iDRAC9 Enterprise license are functioning after initial setup?

During POST, watch for the PERC H730P BIOS prompt and confirm the configured RAID array appears. Then open the iDRAC9 web interface using its dedicated IP; the dashboard should show both Xeon Silver 4116 processors, 768 GB DDR4 memory, and the Enterprise license status as active.

What components are included in the shipment and which storage items must be purchased separately?

The server ships with two Xeon Silver 4116 CPUs, 768 GB DDR4 ECC registered memory, a PERC H730P RAID controller, a 10 GbE 562T dual-port adapter, two 750 W power supplies, and an empty 8-bay 3.5" chassis. No hard drives or SSDs are installed; those must be sourced separately.

Which drive-bay count matches a workload needing maximum 3.5" SATA capacity in this R740?

Choose the 8 LFF (3.5") chassis version, which provides eight hot-plug bays directly backed by the PERC H730P controller for SATA drives. The alternative small-form-factor models only accept 2.5" drives and would not suit 3.5" media.
