DELL PowerEdge R740 2x Silver 4210R 10C 32GB 4x 1.2TB 10K SAS H730P rack server

2U Rack Server with Dual Silver 4210R CPUs

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Silver 4210R processors, each offering 10 cores at 2.4 GHz with 13.75 MB cache. It ships with 32 GB of DDR4 memory in a 2x 16 GB PC4-2666 configuration. Four 1.2 TB 10K SAS drives are installed on an H730P RAID controller. The chassis provides eight 2.5-inch drive bays and up to eight PCIe Gen 3 slots. Remote management is handled by iDRAC9 Enterprise.

Suits virtualization and database workloads

This server fits environments that require dual-socket compute density, hardware RAID and dual-port 10 Gb RJ45 connectivity from the Intel X550 controller. The 1100 W redundant power supplies support high-availability deployments. Buyers who need more than 32 GB of memory, additional drive bays beyond eight 2.5-inch slots or a different storage interface should look at other configurations. The lack of an optical drive and LCD bezel may also limit some legacy installation workflows.

H730P RAID controller with four 1.2 TB SAS drives

The H730P controller manages the installed 1.2 TB 10K SAS drives and supports additional drives up to the eight-bay chassis limit. This specification determines the storage performance, redundancy options and expansion headroom available without adding a second controller. Verify that the RAID level and capacity meet the application requirements before deployment.
