Refurbished · Tested
Dell PowerEdge R740 8LFF rack server with 2 x Xeon Gold 6138, 32GB RAM and 32TB SAS storage for enterprise workloads.
This refurbished Dell PowerEdge R740 (SKU SD-000001-ASSY) is a 2U, 14th generation PowerEdge rack server in the 8 x 3.5 inch (8x3.5, 8LFF) chassis. It is fitted with two Intel Xeon Gold 6138 processors (20 cores, 40 threads, 2.0 GHz each), 32GB of DDR4 2666MHz ECC RDIMM memory, a Dell H740 RAID controller, redundant power supplies and eight 4TB HGST Ultrastar 7.2K 12Gb/s SAS drives, giving 32TB of raw capacity. The R740 is built for buyers who need compute and local capacity in one box: a file server, backup target, video retention store or a small virtualisation host with bulk storage. IT teams in Doha and across Qatar choose it because 3.5 inch bays give the lowest cost per terabyte, and the platform is a well-supported Dell design with plenty of memory headroom.
SD-000001-ASSYFull configuration
The R740 is the 14th generation of Dell's dual-socket 2U PowerEdge line. The first rows are the configuration as fitted; the rest describe what the platform supports.
What this configuration suits
Compare the workload you have in mind against the fitted components.
eight 4TB nearline-class SAS drives in RAID 6 give about 24TB usable with two-drive fault tolerance.
Video surveillance retention and archive targets, where capacity per bay matters more than random I/O.
40 cores and 80 threads are ample, but 32GB of memory is the limit. Plan a memory upgrade before running more than a few virtual machines.
Not suited to latency-sensitive databases on spinning disk alone; 7.2K drives are built for capacity, not IOPS.
Upgrade paths
- Memory: 24 DDR4 slots in total, so most remain free for RDIMMs matching the fitted 2666MHz modules.
- Processors: the sockets accept other first and second generation Xeon Scalable models, up to 28 cores each, after a current BIOS update.
- Storage: all eight bays are populated, so growth means larger 3.5 inch drives or external storage through a PCIe adapter.
- Network: the daughter card slot and PCIe risers allow 10GbE or 25GbE adapters.
Compatibility
Add memory as DDR4 ECC RDIMMs and do not mix RDIMM and LRDIMM types in the same server. Install DIMMs evenly across both processors so each memory channel stays balanced. Replacement drives must be 3.5 inch SAS or SATA units in Dell 14th generation hot-plug carriers; 2.5 inch drives fit using hybrid carriers. Any added power supply must match the wattage of the fitted pair to keep redundancy. Dell sliding or static rails for the R740 fit standard four-post 19 inch racks.

Why buy refurbished
Enterprise hardware, tested in Doha, at a fraction of the price of new
Every unit we sell has already proven itself in a data centre. We test it again, grade it, and back it with a warranty before it leaves our stock.
Tested before it ships
POST, burn-in, memory and power-supply checks on every unit. Anything that fails is repaired or pulled from stock, not sold.
Same performance, lower cost
A Xeon runs the same workloads whether it is new or two years old. Spend the difference on more CPUs, memory or storage.
In stock, not on order
New enterprise hardware can take weeks or months to arrive. Ours is on the shelf in Doha and delivered across Qatar within a day.
Warranty and local support
Every unit is covered. Installation, configuration and hardware support are handled by our own team in Qatar, not a call centre abroad.
