2U Rack Server with Dual Silver 4210R CPUs

This new Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built for virtualisation, database and general compute workloads. It ships with two Intel Silver 4210R processors, each running at 2.4 GHz with 10 cores and 13.75M cache. Memory totals 256 GB of DDR4 across sixteen 16 GB modules at PC4-2666. The H730P RAID controller manages six 800 GB SAS SSDs in the 2.5 inch drive bays.

Ideal for density-focused deployments needing

Organisations that need high core counts in a compact 2U form factor will benefit from the twenty total cores and large memory capacity. The eight PCIe Gen 3 slots and Intel X550 dual 10 Gb RJ45 plus dual 1 Gb RJ45 networking support expansion and fast connectivity. Buyers who require more than six drives or a different storage interface should evaluate other configurations. The system includes iDRAC9 Enterprise for remote management, redundant 1100 W power supplies, rails, bezel and power cords.

Six 800 GB SAS SSDs on H730P controller

The installed storage consists of six 800 GB SAS SSDs connected to the H730P RAID controller inside the eight-bay 2.5 inch chassis. This capacity and drive type determine whether the server meets your dataset size and I/O requirements. No optical drive is fitted.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 16 DDR4 DIMMs in the correct slots for the 256GB configuration?

Populate all 16 slots evenly across both processors following the R740 memory population guide; the common error is leaving gaps between channels which reduces bandwidth.

When will the 800GB SAS SSDs need replacement under write-intensive workloads?

The 800GB SAS SSDs are rated for mixed-use endurance; plan replacement once the SSD life remaining attribute in iDRAC9 approaches 10 percent.

At what point does the 1100W redundant power supply become the limiting factor during sustained load?

With dual Silver 4210R CPUs at 2.4GHz, 16 DIMMs and six SSDs, the 1100W PSU hits its limit before the thermal ceiling under full synthetic load.
