Dell PowerEdge R740 8LFF server
The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack-mount server with eight 3.5-inch drive bays. It ships with one Intel Xeon Bronze 3104 processor running at 1.7 GHz and 64 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. No hard drives are installed and the PERC H730P RAID controller manages storage.
Suited for storage-dense workloads
This configuration suits buyers who need high local capacity in a compact rack footprint, such as file serving, backup targets or archival workloads. It is not for buyers who want more storage bays than the eight provided. It is also not for workloads that require a second processor for higher core counts or additional memory channels.
Eight 3.5-inch drive bays with PERC H730P
The chassis provides exactly eight large-form-factor bays connected to a Dell PERC H730P RAID controller. This bay count and controller combination determines how many drives you can install and which RAID levels are available..remote management uses iDRAC9 with an Enterprise licence.

Questions about this item
What chassis and drive-bay count must the rack already provide for the R740 8LFF to fit?
The server is a 2U rack-mount chassis that occupies 36 inches of depth and requires eight 3.5-inch drive bays.
Can the installed PERC H730P RAID controller manage older SATA drives I intend to keep?
Yes, the H730P supports SATA drives so existing disks can be added and configured in RAID arrays.
How do I confirm the iDRAC9 Enterprise remote-management interface is active after first boot?
Connect to the iDRAC network port, log in with the default credentials, and verify the dashboard shows the Bronze 3104 processor, 64 GB DDR4 memory and both 750 W power supplies online.
