Dual Silver 4210R compute density

The Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 packs two 10-core Intel Silver 4210R processors at 2.4 GHz with 13.75 MB cache each into a 2U rack chassis. It ships with 512 GB of DDR4 memory across sixteen 32 GB modules running at 2666 MT/s. This configuration targets virtualisation hosts, database nodes and dense compute clusters that need high core counts and large memory capacity in a standard rack footprint.

H730P RAID and six SSDs ready

The integrated H730P controller manages the six pre-installed 480 GB SATA SSDs with hardware RAID levels and cache-backed write performance. Two 2.5-inch drive bays remain open for capacity expansion or hot-spare deployment. The chassis supports up to eight 2.5-inch drives total, so storage growth stays inside the same 2U enclosure without extra shelves or cabling.

iDRAC9 Enterprise and 10 Gb networking

iDRAC9 Enterprise provides dedicated remote console, power control and firmware update over a separate management port. The NDC module delivers two 10 Gb RJ45 and two 1 Gb RJ45 Ethernet links for production and management traffic segregation. Eight PCIe Gen 3 slots accommodate additional NICs, GPUs or storage controllers. Redundant 1100 W power supplies, rails, bezel and power cords are included.

Questions about this item

When will the 480GB SATA SSDs behind the H730P controller need replacement?

The six 480GB SATA SSDs have a finite write endurance; plan to replace them once their SMART wear indicator approaches the rated limit.

Which component hits its ceiling first during continuous heavy workloads on the dual Silver 4210R CPUs?

The two 10-core 2.4GHz Silver 4210R processors will reach full utilisation before the 512GB DDR4 memory or the 1100W redundant power supplies become the bottleneck.

How loud and hot does the 2U R740 chassis get when running all day with both CPUs and six SSDs active?

Dual 1100W redundant supplies and the 2U airflow design keep the Silver 4210R pair and six SATA SSDs within thermal limits, producing typical rack-server noise levels.
