Dual Xeon Silver 4110 compute node

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon Silver 4110 processors running at 2.1GHz, each providing eight cores. It ships with 512GB of DDR4 2400MHz registered ECC memory installed across sixteen slots. The platform targets virtualization hosts, database nodes and compute-intensive workloads that benefit from dual-socket density.

24 DIMM slots and 12Gb/s SAS/SATA controller

Memory expansion reaches a maximum of 3TB using the 24 available DDR4 slots. The integrated PERC H730P storage controller operates at 12Gb/s and supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 with a 2GB cache backed by battery. Eight 2.5-inch drive bays accept SAS or SATA devices, but no drives are included.

512GB baseline with 3TB headroom

The factory configuration delivers 512GB of memory, leaving substantial headroom for growth up to the 3TB limit. Dual 750W platinum power supplies provide redundancy for fully populated configurations. The quad-port network daughter card adds two 1GbE and two 10Gb SFP+ links, while iDRAC9 Enterprise enables full out-of-band management.
