2U Rack Server with Dual Silver 4210R CPUs

This new Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 occupies 2U of rack space and ships with two Intel Silver 4210R processors. Each CPU runs at 2.4GHz with 10 cores and 13.75M cache. The system includes 32GB of DDR4 memory in two 16GB modules and eight 300GB 10K SAS drives managed by an H730P RAID controller.

Suits dense virtualisation.

The eight 2.5-inch drive bays and dual 10-core processors fit virtualisation clusters or database nodes that need redundant 1100W power and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management. Buyers who require GPU acceleration or more than eight internal drives should evaluate alternative chassis designs.

Eight 300GB 10K SAS drives on H730P controller

Storage capacity is fixed at 2.4TB of 10K SAS spindles behind the H730P RAID adapter. If the application demands larger volumes or solid-state media, a different drive configuration must be sourced.

Questions about this item

What maintenance will the 8x 300GB 10K SAS drives and the H730P RAID controller need over time?

The 10K SAS drives are mechanical and will eventually require replacement; the H730P controller has a cache battery or flash module that also needs periodic replacement to keep write-back cache protected.

Which limit appears first when both Silver 4210R 10C processors run at 2.4 GHz under sustained load?

The 2U chassis airflow and the 1100 W redundant PSUs set the thermal and power ceiling, so CPU throttling from heat is the first bottleneck during continuous all-core work.

How much noise and heat do the redundant 1100 W PSUs and eight 10K SAS drives produce in a 2U rack all day?

Eight 10K SAS drives and dual 1100 W PSUs generate noticeable fan noise and steady heat; expect the 2U fans to run at elevated speed continuously in a typical server room.
