DELL PowerEdge R740 2x Silver 4210R 10C 256GB 2x 960GB SAS SSD H730P

Dual Silver 4210R 2U Rack Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 delivers twenty cores at 2.4 GHz across two Intel Silver 4210R processors with 13.75 MB cache each. Two hundred fifty-six gigabytes of DDR4-2666 memory populate sixteen DIMM slots. Two 960 GB SAS SSDs sit behind an H730P RAID controller in an eight-bay 2.5-inch chassis. Integrated Intel X550 networking provides two 10 Gb and two 1 Gb RJ45 ports. iDRAC9 Enterprise enables full remote management.

Rack Space Power And PCIe Planning

Verify that your rack can accommodate a 2U unit and supply sufficient cooling for dual processors and an 1100 W redundant power supply. Confirm the available PCIe Gen 3 slots match the expansion cards you intend to install, as the system offers up to eight such slots. Ensure your network infrastructure supports RJ45 connections for both 10 Gb and 1 Gb Ethernet links. No optical drive is present, so plan alternate media access if required.

Sustained Load Thermal And Storage Behaviour

Under continuous workloads the dual 10-core CPUs and fully populated memory channels draw steady power that the redundant 1100 W supply is designed to handle. The H730P controller maintains consistent SAS SSD throughput during extended write sequences without the thermal throttling seen in shorter benchmarks. iDRAC9 Enterprise monitoring allows administrators to track temperature, power draw and disk health in real time throughout prolonged operations.
