DELL PowerEdge R740 2U Server

The DELL PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built around a single Intel Silver 4210 processor with 10 cores. It ships with 64 GB of DDR4 memory and two 2 TB 7.2 K SAS drives managed by an H740P RAID controller. Remote administration is handled through iDRAC9 Enterprise.

Suited for dense compute and storage workloads

This configuration fits environments that need moderate core count, redundant SAS storage and out-of-band management in a 2U form factor. Buyers who require a second processor, additional drive bays beyond the eight 2.5-inch slots, or a different RAID controller should evaluate other options.

Single Silver 4210 10-core processor

The server includes one Intel Silver 4210 CPU running at 2.4 GHz with 20 cores total across the socket. This core count and clock speed determine the baseline compute capacity for virtualisation, database or application tiers deployed on this platform.

Questions about this item

What does the 10-core Silver 4210 processor mean for real-world throughput?

The Silver 4210 runs at 2.4 GHz with 20 cores across one socket, giving a 27.5 MB cache pool that handles parallel workloads such as virtualisation or database queries.

Which PCIe generation do the eight expansion slots use, and what bandwidth ceiling does that create?

The slots are PCIe Gen 3, so each x16 lane tops out at roughly 16 GT/s per direction, limiting total I/O throughput to that generation.

How many 2.5-inch drive bays does the 2U chassis provide and what cabling is required?

The chassis holds up to eight 2.5-inch SAS bays; the two installed 2 TB 7.2K drives connect directly to the H740P controller with standard SAS cables.
