Dell PowerEdge R740 8-Bay Server
This Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack-mount server built for compute-intensive workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Silver 4210 processors running at 2.2GHz, each providing 10 cores. The system includes 128GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H730P RAID controller. It is suited for virtualisation, database hosting and enterprise applications.
Suited for multi-threaded tasks
The eight 3.5-inch drive bays support SATA hard drives for high-capacity storage arrays. Remote management is handled by iDRAC9 with an Enterprise licence. Dual 750W power supplies provide redundancy. Not for buyers who need GPU acceleration or more than two processor sockets. Not for deployments requiring 2.5-inch drive form factors.
Eight 3.5-inch SATA bays define storage scope
The chassis accepts up to eight 3.5-inch SATA drives connected to the PERC H730P controller. No drives are installed, so capacity and RAID level are chosen at order time. Maximum memory capacity reaches 3TB across 24 DIMM slots. This bay count and interface determine whether the server fits your storage design.

Questions about this item
What RAID modes does the PERC H730P controller support with the 3.5" SATA bays?
The PERC H730P controller manages the eight 3.5-inch SATA bays with hardware RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10 and 50, using 2 GB of dedicated cache for write-back acceleration.
How deep is the chassis and what rail kit is available?
The rack-mount chassis measures 36 inches deep and a compatible rail kit can be requested at order time.
What is the correct firmware update sequence before deploying the server?
Update the iDRAC9 Enterprise firmware first, then the system BIOS, and finally the PERC H730P controller firmware to ensure all components recognise the dual Xeon Silver 4210 CPUs and 128 GB DDR4 ECC memory.
