Dual-socket 2U server for dense compute

The Dell PowerEdge R740 fits two Xeon Silver 4110 processors in a 2U rack chassis. Each CPU runs at 2.1 GHz with eight cores and a 3.0 GHz turbo frequency. The system ships with 768 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots. It targets workloads that need high core counts and large memory capacity in a standard rack footprint.

Redundant 750 W platinum supplies

Dual hot-swap 750 watt platinum-efficiency power supplies deliver redundancy for continuous operation. The 2U form factor uses Dell’s engineered airflow path to move heat across the CPU and memory zones. iDRAC 9 Enterprise provides remote thermal monitoring and fan-speed management without host OS dependency. Acoustic output scales with load under firmware control.

24 DIMM slots and eight 2.5-inch bays for expansion

The platform offers 24 DDR4 slots supporting up to 3 TB total capacity, leaving headroom beyond the installed 768 GB. Eight front-accessible 2.5-inch drive bays connect to the PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache and battery-backed RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60. Quad-port networking includes two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links via the X520/I350 daughter card. Ready Rails and bezel are included for rack integration.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 24 DDR4 memory modules in the 24 slots, and which step is commonly missed?

Populate all 24 slots with the 32 GB DDR4 registered ECC modules at 2400 MHz; the step often missed is enabling the memory training sequence in BIOS after installation so the system recognises the full 768 GB capacity.

What maintenance will the PERC H730P storage controller need later?

The H730P uses a 2 GB cache backed by a battery; plan to replace the battery module when the controller reports a degraded cache state to keep RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 performance consistent.

What is the first limit reached under sustained load with the two 750 W platinum power supplies?

The redundant 750 W platinum supplies share the load; the first sustained-use limit is the combined 750 W output, so total system draw must stay below that threshold to avoid throttling or shutdown.
