DELL PowerEdge R740 2U Rack Server 2x Xeon Silver 4110 2.1GHz 768GB DDR4 H730P 8x 2.4TB SAS

Dual Xeon Silver 4110 server for virtualisation

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon Silver 4110 processors running at 2.1 GHz with 8 cores each. It ships with 768 GB of DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC memory across 24 slots. The system targets organisations that need dense compute and memory capacity for virtualisation hosts, database servers or high-throughput applications.

Sustained load behaviour

Under continuous demand the dual 8-core CPUs maintain a 3.0 GHz turbo frequency while the PERC H730P controller manages eight 2.4 TB 10K SAS drives in RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 or 60 modes. The 2 GB controller cache and battery-backed write-back accelerate sustained write throughput. Quad-port networking with two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links keeps data flowing to storage and clients without bottlenecks.

Thermals noise and power draw

Dual hot-swap 750 W platinum-efficiency power supplies share the load and provide full redundancy during normal operation. The 2U chassis directs airflow across the processors, memory and drive bays to keep component temperatures stable. iDRAC 9 Enterprise monitors thermal sensors and fan speeds remotely so administrators can track power consumption and acoustic levels without physical access.
