Dell PowerEdge R740 2U rack server

This 2U rack server ships with two Intel Silver 4210R processors running at 2.4 GHz and 64 GB of DDR4 memory across four modules. It includes an H730P RAID controller and two 300 GB 10K SAS drives in an eight-bay 2.5-inch chassis. Remote management is handled by iDRAC9 Enterprise. Dual 1100 W redundant power supplies are installed.

Suits virtualisation hosts needing dense compute

The eight 2.5-inch bays and PCIe Gen 3 slots support storage and network expansion for hypervisor clusters. Buyers who need more than 64 GB of memory or larger boot volumes should look at a different configuration. The fixed 10 Gb and 1 Gb RJ45 ports cannot be swapped for fibre uplinks.

Eight 2.5-inch drive bays define storage limits

The chassis provides exactly eight hot-plug bays, so total raw capacity is capped by the number and size of drives you install. Two 300 GB SAS drives are included, leaving six bays open for expansion. No additional drive cages or mid-plane upgrades are possible in this 2U form factor.
