Dual-Socket 2U Rack Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack-mount server built around two Intel Xeon Silver 4110 processors, each running at 2.10 GHz with eight cores. It ships with 512 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory installed across 16 modules. The system targets organisations that need dense compute and memory capacity in a standard two-socket platform.

Redundant Power and Front-Access Storage

Redundant 750-watt platinum power supplies support hot-swap replacement without downtime. Eight 2.5-inch drive bays sit behind the included front bezel, with two 400 GB SATA SSDs already installed. The PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache manages RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. ReadyRails simplify rack mounting and service access.

512 GB DDR4 Installed Memory

The configuration provides 512 GB of DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC memory out of a 3 TB maximum across 24 slots. Buyers who need the full 3 TB capacity must add modules themselves. The LGA 3647 sockets are fully populated, so no further CPU upgrades are possible. Network connectivity uses an Intel X520/I350 daughter card delivering two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports. iDRAC 9 Enterprise enables remote management.
