Dell PowerEdge R740 8LFF Server
This Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack-mount server built for storage-heavy workloads. It ships with one Intel Xeon Silver 4114 processor at 2.2 GHz with 10 cores and 64 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. The chassis supports up to eight 3.5-inch SATA drive bays and includes a PERC H730P RAID controller. Remote management is handled by iDRAC9 with an Enterprise licence.
Compatibility Check Before Ordering
Verify that your rack provides 36 by 24 by 10 inches of clear space and can support a 40 lb unit. Confirm the 750 W power supplies match your available PDU connectors and voltage. Ensure your network infrastructure can use the dual-port 10 GbE 562T adapter. The system accepts a second Xeon Scalable processor and up to 3 TB of DDR4 memory if you plan to expand later.
Bundled Extras and Their Impact
The PERC H730P controller enables hardware RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across the eight drive bays. The iDRAC9 Enterprise licence unlocks full remote console, virtual media and dedicated lifecycle management without an extra subscription. Two 750 W supplies provide redundant power out of the box. Rail kits are available on request but are not included by default.

Questions about this item
What comes in the box with the PowerEdge R740 and what must I purchase separately?
The server ships with one Xeon Silver 4114 processor, 64GB DDR4 ECC registered memory, a PERC H730P RAID controller, a dual-port 10GbE 562T adapter, two 750W power supplies and rails on request; no 3.5" drives are included so you must buy SATA HDDs or SSDs separately.
Should I choose the single 4114 CPU or add a second processor for my workload?
The chassis supports up to two CPUs; the installed 10-core 2.2GHz Xeon Silver 4114 handles many virtualization and database tasks, while adding a second identical processor doubles core count and memory channels for heavier parallel workloads.
What does the 64GB DDR4 figure mean once the server is running production workloads?
64GB of DDR4 ECC registered RAM provides error-corrected capacity for virtual machines, databases or file services, and the system can be expanded to 3TB using the remaining DIMM slots across both processor sockets.
