2U Rack Server with Dual Xeon 4110

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack-mount server system built around two Intel Xeon Silver 4110 processors running at 2.1 GHz with eight cores each. It ships with 128 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across eight 16 GB modules and a PERC H730P controller managing eight 800 GB SATA SSDs. Redundant 750 W power supplies, quad-port networking and iDRAC 9 Enterprise complete the package for immediate deployment.

Virtualisation Hosts and Database Nodes

This configuration suits organisations consolidating virtual machines, running mid-size databases or hosting enterprise applications that benefit from dual-socket compute and all-flash storage. The eight drive bays are fully populated with SATA SSDs and the memory capacity is set at 128 GB, so buyers who need room for additional drives or larger memory footprints should consider a chassis with more bays or higher-capacity DIMMs.

PERC H730P RAID Controller with 2 GB Cache

The storage controller is a Dell PERC H730P equipped with 2 GB of battery-backed cache and 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA connectivity. It supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode, determining the data-protection schemes and performance characteristics available to the eight installed SSDs.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box and what must I source separately?

The server ships with dual Xeon Silver 4110 processors, 128 GB DDR4 ECC memory, PERC H730P RAID controller with battery, eight 800 GB SATA SSDs, X520/I350 quad-port network card, iDRAC9 Enterprise, dual 750 W PSUs, bezel and rails. No extra components are included.

Which memory capacity should I choose for this R740?

The system has 128 GB installed across eight 16 GB DDR4 2400 MHz modules. Twenty-four slots are available and the maximum supported capacity is 3 TB, so you can add further registered ECC DDR4 as workloads grow.

What does the 2.1 GHz base clock mean once the server is running?

Each Xeon Silver 4110 runs at 2.1 GHz base and can turbo to 3.0 GHz, giving sixteen cores total for compute-heavy tasks while the 12Gb/s PERC H730P and eight SATA SSDs keep storage latency low.
