Dual Silver 4210R 2U Rack Server

The Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Silver 4210R processors. Each CPU provides 10 cores at 2.4 GHz with 13.75M cache. The system includes 64GB of DDR4 memory in four 16GB modules running at 2666 MT/s. It ships with six 300GB 10K SAS drives managed by an H730P RAID controller.

Suited for virtualisation hosts needing redundant

This configuration targets IT teams building on-premise virtualisation clusters or database nodes that require dual-socket performance, redundant 1100W power supplies and integrated 10 GbE networking via the Intel X550 controller. Buyers who need more than eight 2.5-inch drive bays or a GPU-ready chassis should evaluate alternative platforms.

H730P controller with six 300GB 10K SAS drives

The storage subsystem centres on the H730P RAID adapter paired with six 300GB 10K SAS spindles. This combination determines usable capacity, IOPS ceiling and supported RAID levels for the deployment.

Questions about this item

How loud and hot does the 2U R740 get when the dual Silver 4210R processors run at 2.4 GHz all day?

The 2U chassis uses redundant 1100W supplies and multiple system fans; the Silver 4210R pair draws significant power, so expect noticeable airflow and heat output under sustained load

What rack rails and cabling must I already have to install the 8-bay 2.5-inch chassis?

Rails and power cords are included with the server; you only need a standard 2U rack space and network cables for the Intel X550 10Gb and 1Gb RJ45 ports

Will my existing PCIe Gen 3 expansion cards fit the R740's I/O slots?

The server provides up to 8 PCIe Gen 3 slots, so most existing Gen 3 add-in cards will install directly without adapters
