Purpose-built 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack-mounted server system designed for compute-intensive workloads. It ships with dual Intel Xeon Silver 4110 processors, each running at 2.1 GHz with eight cores. The chassis supports redundant hot-swap power supplies and includes ready rails plus a front bezel for immediate rack integration.

Suited for virtualisation and database clusters

This configuration suits environments that need high core counts and large memory capacity, such as virtualisation hosts or database clusters. The 768 GB of DDR4 memory across 24 slots provides headroom for dense VM deployments. Buyers who require all-flash storage performance or higher network throughput than the included quad-port 1 GbE and 10 GbE SFP+ card should evaluate other options.

Memory capacity drives deployment scale

The installed 768 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory, populated as 24 modules of 32 GB each, is the specification that determines how many concurrent workloads the server can handle. The platform supports up to 3 TB total memory capacity when all 24 slots are fully populated with larger modules.

Questions about this item

How loud and hot does the R740 get with both 750 W platinum power supplies running 24/7?

Redundant 750 W platinum supplies share the load, reducing per-unit heat and fan speed compared with a single supply under full load.

Which cables and drives must I already have to populate the eight 2.5-inch bays behind the H730P controller?

The H730P supports SAS and SATA; the two included 300 GB 10K SAS drives fill two bays, so you need up to six additional SAS or SATA drives and matching cables for the rest.

Will my existing DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC modules work in the 24 slots alongside the 768 GB already installed?

Yes — the 24 slots accept DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC; the 24×32 GB kit occupies every slot, so adding more requires removing some modules first.
