DELL PowerEdge R740 2x Silver 4210R 10C 512GB 6x 960GB SSD SFF H730P

Rack server with dual Silver 4210R CPUs

The Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rackmount server equipped with two Intel Silver 4210R processors, each providing 10 cores at 2.4GHz. It ships with 512GB of DDR4 memory installed across 16 DIMM modules running at 2666 MT/s. The system includes a PERC H730P RAID controller and six 960GB SATA SSDs in 2.5-inch bays.

Suited for virtualisation hosts needing dense

This configuration targets workloads that benefit from high core counts and large memory capacity, such as virtualisation clusters or database nodes. The integrated Intel X550 adapter delivers two 10Gb RJ45 and two 1Gb RJ45 ports for network segmentation. Organisations requiring GPU compute, more than eight PCIe Gen 3 slots or an internal optical drive will need a different platform.

512GB DDR4 across 16 slots defines the memory

The server arrives fully populated with 16 × 32GB DDR4 modules, leaving no vacant DIMM sockets for future expansion. Any increase in memory capacity would require replacing existing modules rather than adding to them. This constraint should be weighed against projected application growth before purchase.
