Dual Xeon Silver 4210 server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack-mount server equipped with two Intel Xeon Silver 4210 processors running at 2.2 GHz, each providing ten cores. It ships with 1 TB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H730P RAID controller. The chassis supports up to eight 3.5-inch SATA drive bays, though no drives are installed.

Sustained load behaviour

Dual 750 W power supplies and updated firmware allow the system to maintain performance during extended compute tasks. The iDRAC9 Enterprise licence provides remote monitoring and management without requiring physical access. Integrated graphics handle console output while the 10 GbE 562T adapter delivers high-throughput networking.

Capacity limit

Maximum memory capacity is 3 TB across the available DIMM slots. Buyers who need more than 3 TB of RAM should consider a different platform. The eight 3.5-inch bays set the upper bound for internal SATA storage expansion.

Questions about this item

How much power do the two 750W supplies draw when the 2.2GHz Xeon 4210 CPUs run at full load all day?

Each power supply is rated at 750W; the pair provides redundant power for the dual 10-core processors and 1TB of DDR4 memory under sustained load.

What drive caddies and backplane does the 8-bay 3.5-inch chassis need so the PERC H730P can recognise the drives?

The R740 8LFF chassis uses Dell 3.5-inch drive carriers that connect to the internal backplane; the PERC H730P RAID controller manages the attached SATA drives through that backplane.

Will the 10Gb 562T network adapter and iDRAC9 work with an older Dell switch and legacy management console?

The 562T adapter provides two 10Gb Ethernet ports compatible with standard switches, while iDRAC9 Enterprise offers remote management accessible through a web browser or existing Dell OpenManage tools.
