Dense 16-bay compute

The Dell PowerEdge R740 packs dual Xeon Silver 4210 processors and 768GB of DDR4 memory into a 2U rack chassis with sixteen 2.5-inch drive bays. A PERC H730P RAID controller and dual 1100W power supplies support demanding virtualisation and database workloads. Remote management is handled by iDRAC9 Enterprise.

Virtualisation hosts needing maximum core density

Suited to teams consolidating many virtual machines or running memory-heavy applications where the 20 total cores and large RAM footprint matter. Buyers who need more than two sockets or require GPU acceleration should evaluate alternative platforms.

Sixteen 2.5-inch SAS bays

The chassis accepts up to sixteen SAS drives or SSDs behind the PERC H730P controller, letting you scale storage independently of compute. No drives are installed, so you choose capacity and redundancy to match the workload.

Questions about this item

How do I install the Dell PERC H730P RAID controller in the R740 and what step is commonly missed?

The PERC H730P controller fits into the dedicated internal storage slot on the system board; the step often missed is connecting the SAS cables from the controller to the 16-drive backplane before powering on.

What maintenance will the 768GB DDR4 memory configuration require over time?

The DDR4 ECC registered modules are solid-state and need no scheduled replacement; only a failed DIMM would require swapping, and the system supports up to 3TB total capacity for future expansion.

What thermal or power limit appears first when the dual Xeon Silver 4210 CPUs run sustained workloads?

Each Xeon Silver 4210 has a 10-core design at 2.2GHz, and the dual 1100W power supplies set the sustained power ceiling before thermal throttling becomes a factor.
