DELL PowerEdge R740 2U Rack Server 2x Xeon Silver 4110 2.1GHz 768GB DDR4 H730P 2x 400GB SSD

Built for dense compute workloads

The PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server fitted with two Intel Xeon Silver 4110 processors, each running at 2.1 GHz with eight cores. It ships with 768 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots and a PERC H730P controller managing two 400 GB SATA SSDs. The platform suits virtualization hosts, database nodes and high-throughput applications that demand dual-socket density in a standard rack footprint.

Sustained throughput under load

Dual 750 W platinum power supplies and hot-swap redundancy keep the system running during extended compute cycles. The H730P controller with 2 GB cache supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60, maintaining consistent I/O patterns for mixed read-write workloads. Quad-port networking (two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+) provides steady bandwidth for cluster traffic and storage replication without saturating a single link.

Memory ceiling defines the use case

Maximum supported capacity is 3 TB across the 24 DDR4 slots, so the installed 768 GB leaves headroom for growth but also sets a hard limit for memory-bound deployments. Buyers planning large in-memory databases or dense VDI clusters must verify that 3 TB meets their scaling target before committing to this chassis.
