DELL PowerEdge R740 2U rack server 2x Silver 4210R 10C 2.4GHz 512GB DDR4 8x 960GB SATA SSD H730P

Dual Silver 4210R 10-core platform

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server fitted with two Intel Silver 4210R processors, each delivering ten cores at 2.4 GHz. It ships with 512 GB of DDR4 memory arranged as sixteen 32 GB modules running at 2666 MT/s. The system targets virtualisation hosts, database nodes and compute clusters that need dense core counts in a standard rack footprint. Buyers who require GPU acceleration or single-thread frequencies above 3 GHz will need a different configuration.

Eight-bay SFF chassis with H730P RAID

The chassis provides eight 2.5-inch drive bays populated with 960 GB SATA SSDs behind a PERC H730P hardware RAID controller. Up to eight PCIe Gen 3 slots are available for additional network or storage adapters. The integrated Intel X550 network daughter card supplies two 10 Gb RJ45 and two 1 Gb RJ45 ports for flexible LAN segmentation. No optical drive is included, and builders who need more than eight internal drives must attach external enclosures.

Redundant 1100 W power with iDRAC9 Enterprise

Dual 1100 W redundant power supplies share the load, keeping the server running if one unit fails. The iDRAC9 Enterprise module gives full out-of-band remote management including virtual console and power control. In typical operation the cooling fans maintain stable inlet temperatures while acoustic output remains within data-centre norms. Customers who need single-cord power or a smaller power envelope should evaluate alternative platforms.
