2U Rack Server with Dual Silver 4210 CPUs

This 2U rack server ships with two Intel Silver 4210 processors, each delivering 10 cores. It includes 64GB of DDR4 memory and six 2TB 7.2K SAS drives managed by an H740P controller. The platform targets virtualisation hosts, database nodes and dense compute clusters that need balanced core count and storage in a compact chassis.

Compatibility Checklist for Existing Racks

Verify the rack provides 2U of vertical space and supports the 8x 2.5" drive-bay chassis width. Confirm the power-distribution unit can feed dual 1100W redundant supplies. Ensure the network fabric accommodates the onboard Intel X550 dual 10Gb and dual 1Gb RJ45 ports. Check that PCIe Gen 3 slots match any add-in card requirements.

Sustained Load Behaviour

Under continuous workloads the dual 10-core CPUs maintain steady throughput for multi-threaded applications and virtual machines. The H740P controller sustains RAID performance across the six SAS spindles without throttling. Redundant 1100W power supplies share load evenly, while iDRAC9 Enterprise provides constant remote health monitoring and firmware-level control during extended operations.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box with this R740 and what must I add?

The chassis includes 2 x Silver 4210 10C CPUs, 64 GB DDR4, 6 x 2 TB 7.2K SAS drives, H740P RAID controller, iDRAC9 Enterprise, bezel, rails and power cords; no optical drive is fitted.

Should I choose the 2.4 TB 10K SAS or the 2 TB 7.2K SAS configuration?

The 2.4 TB 10K SAS drives deliver higher IOPS and lower latency for transactional workloads; the 2 TB 7.2K SAS drives provide larger sequential throughput per euro for archival or backup tasks.

What does the 64 GB DDR4 figure mean once the server is running?

64 GB DDR4 is installed as 4 x 16 GB PC4-2666 modules, giving dual-channel bandwidth per CPU and leaving free DIMM slots for future expansion.
