Dual Silver 4210R 2U rack server

The Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 delivers two 10-core Intel Silver 4210R processors at 2.4GHz with 256GB of DDR4 memory across sixteen 16GB modules. Four 800GB SAS SSDs are managed by an H730P RAID controller inside an eight-bay 2.5-inch chassis. Integrated iDRAC9 Enterprise provides full remote management for data-centre deployment.

Sustained load behaviour

Dual 1100W redundant power supplies maintain uptime during continuous operation while the eight PCIe Gen 3 slots support additional I/O cards without throttling. The Intel X550 network daughter card supplies two 10Gb RJ45 and two 1Gb RJ45 ports for steady throughput. Sixteen memory channels feed the twenty cores to keep virtualisation hosts or database workloads responsive over long periods.

Pre-order checklist

Verify that your rack provides 2U of vertical space and adequate cooling airflow for the 1100W redundant PSU configuration. Confirm PCIe Gen 3 compatibility for any expansion cards you plan to install in the eight available slots. Ensure SAS cabling and backplane layout match the four installed 800GB SSDs and the H730P controller before integration.

Questions about this item

How much power do the dual 1100W redundant supplies draw when the 2.4GHz Silver 4210R CPUs run at full load all day?

The 1100W redundant power supplies deliver up to 1100 watts each; actual draw depends on workload but the chassis is rated for continuous operation within that envelope.

Which cables and drive carriers must I already have to populate the four remaining 2.5-inch bays with SAS SSDs?

The 2U chassis includes carriers for the installed 800GB SAS SSDs; additional 2.5-inch SAS drives require matching Dell drive carriers and SAS data cables.

Will the Intel X550 10Gb RJ45 ports negotiate down to 1Gb links on my older switches without a separate transceiver?

Yes, the Intel X550 NDC provides two 10Gb RJ45 and two 1Gb RJ45 ports that auto-negotiate speeds on existing copper infrastructure.
