Dell PowerEdge R740 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built for virtualisation, database and general-purpose workloads. Dual Intel Silver 4210R processors deliver 10 cores each at 2.4 GHz with 13.75 MB cache. 64 GB DDR4 memory and six 480 GB SATA SSDs are pre-installed. The H730P RAID controller and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management complete the package.

Suits density-focused deployments.

This configuration fits teams that need high core density in a compact 2U form factor with redundant 1100 W power supplies and up to eight PCIe Gen 3 slots. Buyers who require GPU acceleration for AI training or large-scale VDI should evaluate platforms with dedicated accelerator support. The eight 2.5-inch drive bays allow two additional drives later.

10-core Silver 4210R processors define throughput

The two 10-core Intel Silver 4210R CPUs at 2.4 GHz set the parallel processing ceiling for every workload on this server. If your applications demand higher per-core frequency, more cores per socket or a newer microarchitecture, this model will not meet those targets.

Questions about this item

When will the 480 GB SATA SSDs or the H730P RAID controller need replacement under continuous operation?

The six 480 GB SATA SSDs are the primary wear components; their endurance depends on write workload, while the H730P controller has no user-serviceable parts and typically outlasts the drives.

Which limit appears first when both Silver 4210R 10‑core CPUs and the six SSDs run at full load for hours?

The 1100 W redundant power supply sets the hard ceiling; sustained CPU and SSD activity will hit that thermal and electrical budget before memory or PCIe bandwidth saturates.

How much fan noise and heat does the 2U R740 produce with dual 2.4 GHz 10‑core processors and six SSDs running all day?

Dual 10‑core CPUs and six SSDs keep the fans at elevated speeds; the 1100 W redundant PSUs exhaust noticeable heat, so expect server-room noise levels rather than office quiet.
