Purpose-built 2U server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a dual-socket rack server designed for workloads that benefit from accelerator cards and scalable storage. It ships new with two Intel Xeon Silver 4110 processors, 128GB of DDR4 memory, a PERC H730P RAID controller, and eight 600GB SAS hard drives. Quad-port networking and iDRAC9 Enterprise management are included.

Suited for virtualisation and database clusters

This configuration fits organisations running virtualised infrastructure or transactional databases that need redundant power, hardware RAID, and 10GbE connectivity. Buyers who need solid-state storage or more than two processors should consider other platforms.

Dual 8-core Xeon Silver 4110 CPUs

The installed processors deliver sixteen total cores at a 2.1GHz base frequency with 3.0GHz turbo capability. This core count and clock speed determine whether the server matches the throughput requirements of the target application.

Questions about this item

Does the server ship with the 8x 600GB SAS drives and the PERC H730P controller already installed, or must I buy them separately?

The unit includes eight 600GB 10K SAS drives and the PERC H730P 2GB controller with battery pre-installed; no extra storage parts are required.

Should I choose the dual 8-core Xeon Silver 4110 2.1GHz configuration or a single-processor alternative for my workload?

This build comes with two Silver 4110 CPUs (16 cores total, 2.1GHz base, 3.0GHz turbo); the board supports a maximum of two sockets, so this is the top CPU option.

What does the 128GB DDR4 2400MHz ECC memory mean for actual virtualization density on this R740?

128GB across eight 16GB registered ECC DIMMs leaves 16 free slots, allowing expansion to 3TB for dense VM or container deployments.
