Dell PowerEdge R740 2U Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built for demanding workloads. It ships with dual Intel Xeon Silver 4110 processors running at 2.10 GHz with eight cores each. The system includes 512 GB of DDR4 memory across 16 modules. Eight 300 GB 10K SAS drives connect to a PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache.

Ideal for virtualisation and database clusters

Organisations running virtualised environments or storage-heavy databases benefit from the 24 memory slots and 3 TB maximum capacity. The quad-port network daughter card provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections. Buyers who need more than two physical processors or a different drive interface should evaluate alternative platforms.

Dual Xeon Silver 4110 8-core CPUs

The pair of Silver 4110 processors delivers 16 total cores at a 2.10 GHz base frequency with 3.0 GHz turbo capability. This fixed CPU configuration determines the server's compute ceiling. The LGA 3647 socket and Intel C620 chipset support no further processor upgrades beyond the two installed units.

Questions about this item

Will the dual Xeon Silver 4110 processors throttle under sustained full-core load?

Each Silver 4110 has 8 cores at 2.1 GHz with a 3.0 GHz turbo; the dual-socket design and 2U airflow path are built to sustain base frequency across all 16 cores.

How loud and hot does the R740 get when both 750 W power supplies run continuously?

Redundant 750 W Platinum supplies share the load, and the 2U chassis uses temperature-controlled fans that ramp up only when inlet temperatures rise.

What network cabling is needed for the X520/I350 daughter card to operate at 10 Gb speeds?

The card provides two 10 Gb SFP+ ports, so you must supply compatible SFP+ transceivers and fibre or direct-attach cables.
