Ready rack server with dual Silver CPUs

This Dell PowerEdge R740 arrives as a 2U rack system fitted with two Intel Silver 4210R processors, each running at 2.4 GHz with ten cores. It carries 512 GB of DDR4 memory arranged as sixteen 32 GB modules at 2666 MT/s. The chassis provides eight 2.5-inch drive bays and up to eight PCIe Gen 3 slots for expansion cards.

Suits virtualisation hosts needing core density

The dual ten-core layout and large memory pool fit workloads such as hypervisor clusters, container platforms or database nodes that benefit from many threads and fast RAM. Buyers who need more storage bays than the eight 2.5-inch slots, or who require a different drive interface than SAS, should evaluate other chassis configurations. The included H730P controller manages the two installed 2.4 TB 10K SAS drives in hardware RAID.

Storage controller determines drive support

The H730P RAID controller governs which SAS drives can be used and how they are presented to the operating system. It supports the installed 2.4 TB 10K SAS pair and additional SAS devices within the eight-bay limit. Remote management is handled by iDRAC9 Enterprise, and redundant 1100 W power supplies are fitted. Network connectivity includes two 10 Gb RJ45 ports and two 1 Gb RJ45 ports via the Intel X550 adapter.

Questions about this item

Do I need a rack cabinet and power distribution units to install this R740 server?

The R740 is a 2U rack server; rails are included so it fits a standard rack with sufficient depth for the chassis.

Can I keep my existing 2.5-inch SAS drives and use them with the H730P controller in this server?

The chassis has eight 2.5-inch drive bays and the H730P controller manages SAS drives; your existing 2.5-inch SAS drives will work in the open bays.

How do I confirm the two Silver 4210R processors and 512 GB of DDR4 memory are recognised after first boot?

Open the iDRAC9 Enterprise interface or enter the system BIOS; both will show two 10-core CPUs and 512 GB across sixteen 32 GB modules.
