Rack Server with Dual Xeon Silver 4210

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack-mount server system built for data-centre workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Silver 4210 processors running at 2.2 GHz, each providing 10 cores and 13.75 MB cache. A total of 256 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory is installed across the available slots. The chassis supports up to eight 3.5-inch drive bays, though no drives are included in this configuration. A PERC H730P RAID controller manages the SATA storage interface.

Suited for Virtualisation and Database Hosts

This server fits organisations that need a high core count and large memory capacity for virtualisation clusters, database engines or enterprise applications. The dual-processor design and 3 TB maximum memory ceiling give headroom for growth. Buyers who require pre-populated storage, a single-socket platform or a tower form factor should consider alternatives. The integrated graphics and 10 GbE 562T adapter cover basic display and network needs without add-in cards.

8-Bay 3.5-Inch Chassis Defines Storage Limits

The defining specification is the eight-bay 3.5-inch front panel, which sets the maximum number of mechanical drives the system can hold. With no drives installed, the buyer must supply compatible SATA disks and configure the PERC H730P controller for the desired RAID level. This bay count and form factor determine whether the R740 matches the planned storage topology.

Questions about this item

What rack depth is needed for the 36-inch chassis to fit?

The server is 36 inches deep, so the rack must provide at least that much clear depth plus cable room behind the rear door.

Will the existing PERC H730P controller recognise SATA drives installed in the 3.5-inch bays?

Yes, the H730P supports SATA drives and the chassis provides eight 3.5-inch bays for them.

How can I confirm both Xeon Silver 4210 CPUs are active after power-on?

Check the iDRAC9 Enterprise dashboard or the BIOS processor view; both should show two 10-core CPUs at 2.2 GHz with 13.75 MB cache each.
