DELL PowerEdge R740 2x Silver 4210R 10C 64GB 4x 480GB SSD SFF H730P

2U Rack Server with Dual 10-Core CPUs

The Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Silver 4210R processors running at 2.4 GHz. Each CPU provides 10 cores and 13.75 MB cache for multi-threaded workloads. The system ships with 64 GB of DDR4 memory in a 4 x 16 GB configuration at 2666 MT/s. Four 480 GB SATA SSDs are pre-installed behind the H730P RAID controller. It targets organisations consolidating virtual machines or running database instances in a standard rack.

Rack Space and Expansion Slots

Verify that your cabinet can accommodate a 2U chassis with eight 2.5-inch drive bays. The motherboard offers up to eight PCIe Gen 3 slots for additional network or storage adapters. On-board networking uses an Intel X550 controller delivering two 10 Gb RJ45 and two 1 Gb RJ45 ports. Remote management is handled by iDRAC9 Enterprise for out-of-band control. No optical drive is fitted, so installation media must be provided via USB or network boot.

Redundant Power and Thermal Design

Dual 1100 W redundant power supplies maintain operation if one unit fails. The H730P controller manages the four SATA SSDs in hardware RAID, sustaining write throughput during extended batch jobs. DDR4 memory operates at 2666 MT/s without overclocking, providing stable bandwidth for long-running compute tasks. The 2U airflow path is designed for continuous duty in data-centre environments rather than short burst loads.
