DELL PowerEdge R740 2U Rack Server 2x Xeon Silver 4110 2.1GHz 8C 512GB DDR4 2x 800GB SSD H730P

Dual-socket 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rackmount server equipped with two Intel Xeon Silver 4110 processors running at 2.1 GHz with eight cores each. It ships with 512 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory installed across 16 modules and includes a Dell PERC H730P storage controller with 2 GB cache. Two 800 GB SATA solid-state drives are pre-installed in the eight-bay 2.5-inch chassis.

General-purpose compute and virtualisation

This configuration suits organisations running virtualisation clusters, database workloads or general-purpose application hosting that benefit from dual-processor throughput and large memory capacity. The redundant 750 W power supplies and iDRAC 9 Enterprise remote management support continuous operation. Buyers who need more than two processors or storage beyond the eight 2.5-inch drive bays should consider a different platform.

512 GB DDR4 registered ECC memory

The installed 512 GB of DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC memory across 24 available slots determines how many virtual machines or how large a dataset the server can handle immediately. Expanding to the 3 TB maximum requires additional DDR4 RDIMMs compatible with the Intel C620 chipset. Buyers must verify that any added modules match the registered ECC specification.
