Dual-socket 2U rack server for virtualisation

The Dell PowerEdge R740 fits 128GB DDR4 and two Silver 4210R 10-core CPUs into a 2U chassis with eight 2.5-inch drive bays. It targets IT teams building on-premise hypervisor farms or database nodes that need redundant 1100W power and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management. The H730P RAID controller manages the installed 2.4TB 10K SAS drives in hardware RAID.

Verify PCIe Gen 3 slot plan and network uplink speed

The system offers up to eight PCIe Gen 3 slots plus an NDC carrying Intel X550 dual 10Gb RJ45 and dual 1Gb RJ45 ports. Confirm your rack PDU can feed the redundant 1100W supplies and that your top-of-rack switches present 10Gb copper uplinks. No optical drive is fitted, so OS installation must use USB or network boot.

Sustained multi-thread throughput

Two 10-core processors at 2.4GHz and 13.75MB cache each deliver consistent compute density for long-running VM workloads. The 128GB DDR4 2666 memory subsystem feeds all cores without bottlenecks, while 10K SAS spindles behind the H730P cache maintain steady IOPS under constant database pressure. Redundant cooling and power keep clocks stable during extended duty cycles.

Questions about this item

What components come in the box and what must be purchased separately?

The server ships with 2x Silver 4210R processors, 128GB DDR4 in eight 16GB modules, 2x 2.4TB 10K SAS drives, H730P RAID controller, iDRAC9 Enterprise, 1100W redundant PSU, bezel, rails and power cords. Additional 2.5" drives or PCIe cards are not included.

Which drive configuration suits a write-heavy database versus bulk storage?

The installed 2x 2.4TB 10K SAS drives deliver higher IOPS for transactional workloads; the 8-bay chassis can accept larger 7.2K NL SAS drives if capacity matters more than speed.

What does the 10Gb RJ45 NDC provide in a live rack?

The Intel X550 NDC gives two 10Gb RJ45 ports for high-throughput east-west traffic plus two 1Gb RJ45 ports for management or backup networks, all without consuming a PCIe slot.
