Dell PowerEdge R740 8x3.5" Server
This Dell PowerEdge R740 rack server delivers dual Intel Xeon Silver 4214R processors at 2.4 GHz with 12 cores each and 16.5MB cache. The system includes 16GB DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H730P RAID controller. Eight 3.5-inch drive bays support SATA storage. Remote management is provided by iDRAC9 Enterprise. Dual 750W power supplies are installed.
Ideal for virtualisation and database workloads
The eight large-form-factor bays suit organisations needing high-capacity SATA storage arrays. Buyers who need more than two processors should look elsewhere because the chassis supports a maximum of two sockets. The 16GB base memory fits light workloads but heavy applications will require additional DDR4 modules up to the 3TB limit. No drives are included so storage must be sourced separately.
PERC H730P RAID controller with eight 3.5" bays
The H730P controller manages RAID across the eight 3.5-inch SATA bays. This specification determines whether the server matches your storage architecture. The integrated 10GB 2-port 562T adapter handles network connectivity. Firmware is updated to the latest version before shipping.

Questions about this item
How can I verify the 2x Xeon Silver 4214R processors are running at 2.4 GHz after installation?
Check the BIOS or iDRAC9 Enterprise dashboard; both will report each CPU at 2.4 GHz with 12 cores and 16.5 MB cache.
The listing says "No Drive Server" — which drives and caddies must I purchase separately for the 8x3.5" bays?
You need up to eight 3.5" SATA hard drives or SSDs plus matching Dell drive caddies; the PERC H730P controller manages them.
The system ships with 16 GB DDR4 ECC registered — which capacity kit should I add to reach the 3 TB maximum?
Populate the remaining DIMM slots with DDR4 ECC registered modules; the platform supports up to 3 TB total when all slots are filled.
