Rack server with 16 SFF bays

This Dell PowerEdge R740 system arrives with dual Xeon Silver 4210 processors running at 2.2 GHz and 1 TB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. The chassis supports up to sixteen 2.5-inch drives and includes a PERC H730P RAID controller plus dual 1100 W power supplies for redundancy.

Suits virtualisation hosts needing high core count

The ten-core CPUs and large RAM footprint handle dense VM workloads, while iDRAC9 Enterprise enables remote lifecycle management. Buyers who require GPU acceleration, integrated 10 GbE networking or single-socket economics should evaluate other platforms.

Maximum memory capacity is 3 TB

The board accepts DDR4 up to 3 TB, so the installed 1 TB can be expanded as workloads grow. This ceiling determines whether the server fits long-term consolidation plans.

Questions about this item

How much heat and noise should I expect from the two 1100 W power supplies when the R740 runs 24/7?

The server includes two 1100 W power supplies; Dell rates the platform for continuous operation within its thermal design limits, so fan speeds adjust to keep components cool under sustained load.

Which drives and caddies do I need to populate the 16 SFF bays?

The chassis accepts 16 x 2.5" SATA drives; you must supply the drives and any Dell 2.5" drive carriers, as none are included.

Will my existing PERC H730P RAID configuration import directly into this R740?

The installed PERC H730P controller uses the same firmware family as earlier 13G servers, so foreign configurations can typically be imported after the BIOS and iDRAC9 firmware are updated.
