2U rack server with dual 10-core CPUs

The Dell PowerEdge R740 fits two Intel Silver 4210R processors running at 2.4 GHz, each with ten cores and 13.75M cache. Memory is populated with eight 16 GB DDR4 modules at 2666 MT/s for a total of 128 GB. Four 480 GB SATA SSDs sit behind an H730P RAID controller in a chassis that accepts up to eight 2.5-inch drives.

Sustained load with redundant power and remote

Dual 1100 W redundant supplies keep the system running if one unit fails. The iDRAC9 Enterprise controller provides out-of-band monitoring and control even when the operating system is unresponsive. Network I/O uses an Intel X550 adapter delivering two 10 Gb RJ45 ports and two 1 Gb RJ45 ports for continuous traffic.

Check PCIe Gen 3 slot count

The server offers up to eight PCIe Gen 3 slots for expansion cards such as additional NICs or GPUs. Only four of the eight 2.5-inch bays are populated, leaving room for more SATA SSDs. There is no optical drive, so installation media must be supplied via USB or network boot.

Questions about this item

How loud and hot does the R740 run with dual Silver 4210R CPUs and the 1100W redundant PSUs under continuous load?

The 2U chassis uses high-speed fans that ramp with CPU temperature; dual 10-core 2.4 GHz processors and redundant 1100W supplies will draw significant power and produce noticeable noise in a quiet room.

Which rack rails, cabling and PDU outlets must I already have to install this 2U server with its redundant power supplies?

The package includes sliding rails and two C13 power cords; you need a 4-post rack with square holes, U-space for 2U, and two separate PDU circuits for full redundancy.

Can the H730P controller and PCIe Gen 3 slots work with older 6 Gb SATA drives or PCIe 2.0 cards I want to keep using?

The H730P supports 6 Gb SATA SSDs and HDDs in the 2.5-inch bays, and the eight PCIe Gen 3 slots are backward compatible with PCIe 2.0 expansion cards.
