Dual Intel Silver 4210 compute density

This 2U rack server pairs two 10-core Intel Silver 4210 processors with 64GB of DDR4 memory. It targets workloads that need consistent multi-threaded throughput such as virtualisation hosts, database nodes or batch-processing clusters. The eight 2.5-inch drive bays give internal storage flexibility without expanding the rack footprint.

Sustained throughput on 7.2K SAS

The two installed 2TB 7.2K NL SAS drives feed the H740P controller, which caches writes and maintains steady read bandwidth during long backup windows or sequential analytics jobs. Redundant 1100W power supplies keep the platform running through a single supply failure without throttling the CPUs or the storage subsystem.

PCIe Gen 3 and 10GbE ceiling

Eight PCIe Gen 3 slots set the expansion bandwidth limit for additional network cards, accelerators or external storage controllers. The onboard Intel X550 dual 10Gb RJ45 ports cap east-west traffic at ten gigabits per second per link, so heavier inter-node flows will need add-in NICs occupying those slots.

Questions about this item

How much power do the dual Silver 4210 processors draw under sustained load?

The server uses two Silver 4210 CPUs in a 2U chassis with redundant 1100 W power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise monitoring for thermal management.

What drive format and controller are required to use the installed storage?

The system ships with two 2TB 7.2K SAS drives managed by the H740P RAID controller in an 8-bay 2.5-inch chassis.

Will my existing PCIe 3.0 expansion cards fit the available slots?

The R740 provides up to eight PCIe Gen 3 slots, so legacy PCIe 3.0 cards install directly without adapters.
