Rack server with dual 10-core CPUs

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server fitted with two Intel Silver 4210R processors running at 2.4 GHz. Each CPU provides ten cores and 13.75 MB of cache. The system ships with 128 GB of DDR4 memory arranged as eight 16 GB modules at 2666 MT/s.

Suited to dense compute and storage

This configuration fits environments that need plenty of cores and fast local storage in a compact rack footprint. Six 2.4 TB 10K SAS drives and the H730P RAID controller deliver high-throughput arrays. Buyers who need more than eight 2.5-inch drive bays or a different drive interface should look at other platforms.

H730P RAID controller with eight PCIe Gen 3 slots

The H730P manages the six installed SAS drives and supports additional arrays within the eight-bay chassis. Up to eight PCIe Gen 3 expansion slots are available for network or accelerator cards. The server also includes dual 10 Gb RJ45 and dual 1 Gb RJ45 ports, iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management, redundant 1100 W power supplies, rails, bezel and power cords.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 2.5-inch SAS drives into the eight-bay chassis, and what step is often missed?

Slide each 2.4TB 10K SAS drive into a bay until the latch clicks, then configure the H730P RAID controller before installing the operating system; skipping the RAID setup is the common error.

Which components will need replacement first during the server's life?

The 1100W redundant power supplies and the 10K SAS drives are the primary field-replaceable units; fans and the iDRAC9 Enterprise module can also be swapped without downtime.

What performance limit appears first when the two 10-core Silver 4210R CPUs run sustained workloads?

The 128GB DDR4-2666 memory capacity and the PCIe Gen 3 slot bandwidth become the bottlenecks before the processors reach thermal throttling.
