Server identity

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built around a single Intel Silver 4210 processor with ten cores. It ships with 32 GB of DDR4 memory and two 2 TB 7.2K SAS drives managed by an H740P RAID controller. iDRAC9 Enterprise provides full remote management out of the box.

Fit and limits

This configuration suits workloads that need moderate compute density and redundant storage in a compact chassis. Buyers who require a second processor, more than 32 GB of memory, or additional drive bays beyond the eight 2.5-inch slots should consider a different system.

Deciding specification

The single 10-core Silver 4210 CPU defines the processing ceiling for this unit; if the target application demands higher core counts or a second socket, this server will not meet that requirement.

Questions about this item

How many 2.5-inch drive bays does the R740 chassis provide for future storage expansion?

The chassis supports up to 8 × 2.5" drive bays, so six additional bays remain open beyond the two factory-installed SAS drives.

What is the rated output of each redundant power supply in this configuration?

Each hot-plug PSU delivers 1100 W, providing full N+1 redundancy for the single 10-core Silver 4210 processor and installed components.

Which memory standard and speed are used by the factory-installed 32 GB kit?

The server ships with 32 GB of DDR4 memory running at 2666 MT/s in a 2 × 16 GB configuration.
