Rack server for compute-heavy workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack-mount server built around two Intel Xeon Silver 4214 processors running at 2.2 GHz. Each CPU provides twelve cores with 16.5 MB cache, giving 24 threads for parallel applications. The system ships with 512 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and supports up to 3 TB total capacity. Eight 3.5-inch drive bays accept SATA drives through a PERC H730P RAID controller.

Sustained multi-threaded throughput

With both Xeon Silver 4214 CPUs active, the platform maintains its 2.2 GHz base frequency across all twelve cores per socket under continuous load. The 512 GB DDR4 memory subsystem feeds data to 24 threads without paging, keeping databases, virtualization hosts and batch-processing jobs running at steady state. The PERC H730P controller offloads parity calculations, so storage I/O does not stall compute pipelines during long runs.

Dual 750 W supplies and iDRAC9 management

Redundant 750 W power supplies share the load, drawing only what the configured drives and memory require. The integrated iDRAC9 Enterprise licence provides remote console, power cycling and sensor monitoring over a dedicated network port, so administrators can track inlet temperature and fan speed without attaching a monitor. A 10 GbE two-port 562T adapter handles management and data traffic on the same cable plant.

Questions about this item

How much power do the dual 750W supplies and two 2.2GHz Xeon Silver 4214 CPUs draw under continuous load?

Each CPU is a 12-core 2.2GHz Xeon Silver 4214; the chassis includes two 750W power supplies for redundancy.

Which drive trays and cables must I source to populate the eight 3.5" SATA bays?

The R740 8LFF chassis provides eight 3.5-inch SATA bays backed by a PERC H730P RAID controller; drives and caddies are not included.

Can the PERC H730P and iDRAC9 Enterprise manage older SATA arrays and legacy BIOS boot targets?

The H730P supports SATA RAID and iDRAC9 Enterprise offers full remote KVM, virtual media and lifecycle controller for mixed-generation environments.
