Dell PowerEdge R740 8LFF Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built around two Intel Xeon Silver 4214R processors running at 2.4 GHz. It ships with 256 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory installed across sixteen slots. The chassis provides eight 3.5-inch drive bays served by a PERC H730P RAID controller. Remote management is handled by iDRAC9 with an Enterprise licence.

Suited for virtualisation and database hosts

This configuration suits teams that need dual-processor compute density and large memory capacity in a standard rack footprint. Buyers who require more than eight drive bays or a different drive form factor should consider other platforms. Workloads that depend on discrete GPU acceleration are not supported by the integrated graphics subsystem.

Eight 3.5-inch bays with PERC H730P

The single specification that decides fit is the eight-bay 3.5-inch layout paired with the PERC H730P controller. It defines how many SATA drives you can install and which RAID levels are available. Confirm that your storage plan matches this bay count and controller before ordering.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 8 LFF chassis or a smaller drive-bay option for the R740?

This unit is the 8 LFF chassis that holds up to eight 3.5-inch drives; smaller bay counts are different configurations and not part of this listing.

What does the 2.4 GHz clock speed mean for the dual Xeon Silver 4214R processors in daily workloads?

Each of the two CPUs runs 12 cores at 2.4 GHz with 16.5 MB cache, giving 24 total cores for multi-threaded tasks such as virtualization or databases.

How does the PERC H730P controller limit the SATA drives I can install?

The H730P manages the eight 3.5-inch SATA bays with hardware RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and supports drives up to the chassis capacity.
