Dual Silver 4210R 2U rack server

The Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server fitted with two Intel Silver 4210R processors, each running at 2.4 GHz with ten cores and 13.75 MB cache. It ships with 32 GB of DDR4 memory in a two-module configuration and eight 120 GB SATA SSDs managed by an H730P RAID controller. Remote management is handled by iDRAC9 Enterprise and networking includes two 10 Gb and two 1 Gb RJ45 ports.

Suits virtualisation hosts needing dense 2.5-inch

This platform fits organisations that want a compact 2U chassis with eight hot-swap 2.5-inch bays, dual-socket compute and integrated 10 Gb Ethernet for virtualisation or database workloads. Buyers who need more than eight drive bays, memory beyond the installed 32 GB or additional PCIe Gen 3 slots beyond the eight available should evaluate other platforms.

H730P RAID controller with eight SATA SSDs

The storage subsystem centres on a PERC H730P controller driving eight 120 GB SATA read-intensive SSDs in the 2.5-inch bays. This combination sets the usable capacity and RAID options for the server, making it the specification that determines whether the system matches a given storage requirement.

Questions about this item

What rack space and power connections does the 2U PowerEdge R740 need?

The server fits a standard 2U rack opening and ships with redundant 1100 W power supplies and power cords.

Can the H730P controller manage the eight 120 GB SATA SSDs together with any existing 2.5-inch drives I keep?

Yes, the H730P RAID controller supports all eight 2.5-inch bays, so the installed SSDs and any retained drives share the same backplane.

How do I confirm the dual Silver 4210R processors and 32 GB DDR4 are recognised after power-on?

Open the iDRAC9 Enterprise interface or enter the BIOS; both will show two 10-core CPUs at 2.4 GHz and 32 GB of PC4-2666 memory.
