16-Bay 2U Rack Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 fits into a standard 2U rack space and provides sixteen 2.5-inch drive bays. A single Xeon Silver 4210 processor with ten cores running at 2.2 GHz is installed. The system ships with 128 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H730P RAID controller. No drives are included so the storage layout is completely open.

Ideal for Virtualisation and Database Nodes

This configuration suits teams building a virtualisation host or a database node that needs dense local storage and hardware RAID. Organisations that require dual processors, larger memory capacity or pre-installed drives should look at a different specification. Buyers needing GPU acceleration or fibre-channel connectivity will not find those features here.

Ten-Core Xeon Silver 4210 CPU

The installed Xeon Silver 4210 delivers ten cores at 2.2 GHz with 13.75 MB cache. This processor choice determines the baseline compute throughput for the entire chassis. Verify that the core count and clock speed match the workload before ordering.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 16-bay 2.5-inch chassis or a smaller bay count for this R740?

The 16-bay 2.5-inch chassis supports up to sixteen SAS drives with the PERC H730P controller, giving the highest internal storage density this model offers.

What does the Xeon Silver 4210 at 2.2 GHz with 10 cores deliver in this server?

The single 10-core Xeon Silver 4210 at 2.2 GHz provides 13.75 MB cache and leaves a second socket free for a future CPU upgrade.

How does the PERC H730P controller limit the SAS drives I can use?

The PERC H730P manages all sixteen 2.5-inch SAS bays with hardware RAID and connects to the system via PCIe, capping throughput at the controller’s native SAS lane speed.
