Dual Xeon 8-core server for virtualization workloads
This Dell PowerEdge R740 fits into a standard rack and ships with two Silver 4215R processors running at 3.2 GHz. Each CPU delivers eight cores and 11 MB cache. The system includes 64 GB DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H730P RAID controller. No drives are installed.
Suits teams consolidating multiple VMs on a 2U
Buyers who need more than 3 TB of RAM or who require GPU-accelerated compute should look at a different chassis. The eight 3.5-inch bays limit raw capacity to mechanical SATA drives unless you add adapter trays. The dual 750 W supplies support the current configuration only.
Eight 3.5-inch drive bays define your storage
The chassis accepts up to eight SATA hard drives or SSDs. With no drives included you must populate the bays yourself. Maximum memory reaches 3 TB across 24 slots. Remote management runs on iDRAC9 Enterprise.

Questions about this item
How do I install drives into the 8 LFF 3.5-inch bays, and what step is commonly missed?
Slide each drive into the hot-swap carrier until the latch clicks, then secure the carrier in the bay; the step often missed is fully engaging the latch so the backplane connector seats correctly.
Which components will need replacement first during the server's service life?
The two 750 W power supplies and cooling fans are the primary field-replaceable units; DDR4 memory modules and the PERC H730P controller may also require replacement over time.
What thermal or power limit appears first when both Xeon Silver 4215R CPUs run at 3.2 GHz continuously?
The dual 750 W power supplies set the sustained power ceiling; if combined CPU, memory and drive draw exceeds their capacity, the system will throttle or shut down before any other limit is reached.
