Dell PowerEdge R740 8-bay server
This Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack-mount server system designed for data-centre workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Silver 4110 processors running at 2.1GHz and 384GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. The chassis provides eight 3.5-inch drive bays and a PERC H730P RAID controller.
Suited for memory-heavy tasks; not for GPU workloads
The dual 8-core CPUs and large memory capacity suit virtualisation, database or compute clusters that need many threads and RAM. Buyers who need GPU acceleration should look elsewhere because only integrated graphics are present. The 10GbE 2-port 562T adapter supports high-throughput networking.
Eight 3.5-inch SATA bays with PERC H730P
The single specification that decides fit is the storage layout: eight large-form-factor bays wired to a PERC H730P controller using the SATA interface. No drives are installed, so the buyer must supply compatible 3.5-inch SATA disks. Maximum memory capacity reaches 3TB for future expansion.

Questions about this item
What does the 384 GB DDR4 capacity mean for actual workloads?
The system ships with 384 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory installed across the available slots, leaving room to expand up to the 3 TB maximum if the application demands more.
How does the PERC H730P controller limit drive performance?
The PERC H730P RAID controller connects to the eight 3.5-inch bays through SATA links, so each drive tops out at the SATA interface speed rather than a faster protocol.
What physical space and mounting hardware does the R740 need?
The chassis measures 36 by 24 by 10 inches and weighs 40 pounds; it mounts in a standard rack using the Dell sliding rail kit that is available on request.
