DELL PowerEdge R740 2x Silver 4210R 128GB 2x 300GB SAS H730P

2U Rack Server for Virtualisation

The Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built around two Intel Silver 4210R processors, each with ten cores at 2.4 GHz and 13.75 MB cache. It ships with 128 GB of DDR4 memory in eight 16 GB modules running at 2666 MT/s. The H730P RAID controller manages two 300 GB 10K SAS drives, and the chassis provides eight 2.5-inch drive bays for further expansion.

Suited for Dense Compute, Not GPU Workloads

This configuration suits organisations that need high core counts and large memory capacity in a compact rack footprint, such as virtualisation clusters or database nodes. The dual 10 GbE and dual 1 GbE ports from the Intel X550 controller give strong network throughput. Buyers who need GPU acceleration or more than eight PCIe Gen 3 slots should look elsewhere, as the chassis does not support those requirements.

Bundled Rails, Bezel and Redundant Power

The package includes rack rails, a front bezel without LCD and power cords, so the server can be installed immediately in a standard cabinet. Dual 1100 W redundant power supplies provide failover protection without extra procurement. iDRAC9 Enterprise is licensed, enabling full remote management and firmware updates over the network from day one.
