PowerEdge R740 8-bay rack server
The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server configured with eight 3.5-inch drive bays. It ships with two Intel Xeon Silver 4208 processors running at 2.1GHz and 256GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. The system targets organisations that need dense local storage and dual-socket compute in a standard rack footprint.
Sustained load with PERC H730P and dual 750W
Under continuous workloads the PERC H730P RAID controller manages up to eight SATA drives with hardware acceleration. Dual 750W power supplies provide redundancy so the server remains online if one unit fails. The 10GbE 2-port 562T adapter maintains network throughput during heavy data movement. Firmware is updated to the latest stable release before dispatch.
Rail kit optional and drives not included
The chassis measures 36 by 24 by 10 inches and weighs 40 units, fitting standard racks without special clearance. A rail kit is available on request but does not ship by default. No drives are installed; buyers must add compatible 3.5-inch SATA media. Remote management uses iDRAC9 Enterprise for out-of-band control.

Questions about this item
How much heat and power draw should I expect from the dual Xeon Silver 4208 CPUs and two 750W supplies running continuously?
The dual 2.1GHz Xeon Silver 4208 processors and redundant 750W power supplies are designed for sustained data-centre workloads; actual heat output and draw depend on the drives and expansion cards you install.
Which drives and caddies do I need to populate the eight 3.5" bays behind the PERC H730P controller?
The chassis accepts eight 3.5-inch SATA drives; you must supply the drives and matching Dell drive carriers, as none are included with the server.
Will my existing DDR4 ECC Registered modules work alongside the 256GB already installed?
Yes, the system uses DDR4 ECC Registered memory and supports up to 3TB total capacity, so compatible modules can be added to the populated slots.
