Dual 10-Core Xeon Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 ships with two Intel Xeon Silver 4114 processors running at 2.2GHz, each providing 10 cores and 13.75MB cache. 512GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory is installed across the system board. The 8LFF chassis supports up to eight 3.5-inch SATA drives, though no drives are included in this configuration. The PERC H730P RAID controller manages storage arrays, while a 10GbE dual-port 562T adapter handles network connectivity. This server targets organisations that need high memory capacity and flexible local storage in a 2U rack footprint.

Thermals And Redundant Power

Dual 750W power supplies deliver redundant power for continuous operation in data-centre environments. The 2U form factor (36 x 24 x 10 inches, 40 units) allows standard rack airflow patterns to cool both CPUs and the memory subsystem under sustained loads. iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management provides out-of-band thermal monitoring, power control and firmware updates without requiring host OS access. Redundant fans and power supplies reduce single points of failure during normal production workloads.

RAID Controller And Remote Management

The PERC H730P hardware RAID controller offloads parity calculations from the CPUs and supports multiple RAID levels for the SATA drive bays you populate. iDRAC9 Enterprise includes a dedicated lifecycle controller that automates firmware deployment, hardware inventory and secure configuration lock-down across the fleet. The 10GbE 562T adapter adds two high-speed network ports for storage replication or virtualisation traffic. Rail kits are available on request to simplify rack installation.

Questions about this item

How is the PERC H730P RAID controller installed in the R740 and what step is often missed?

The PERC H730P RAID controller installs in a dedicated internal slot; the step often missed is connecting the cables from the controller to the 8 LFF backplane before powering on.

What maintenance or replacement will the 750W power supplies need later?

The 2x 750W power supplies are hot-plug redundant units; maintenance involves replacing a failed module without shutting down the server.

What thermal limit appears first when both 10-core 2.2GHz Xeon 4114 CPUs run sustained workloads?

The 750W power supply capacity is the first limit under sustained dual-CPU load, especially when all 8 LFF drive bays are populated.
