2U Rack Server with Dual Xeon Silver 4214 CPUs

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack-mount server built for data-centre workloads that demand high core counts and large memory capacity. It ships with two Intel Xeon Silver 4214 processors running at 2.2GHz, delivering 24 cores total. The system includes 256GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H730P RAID controller. No drives are installed, so storage can be tailored to the deployment.

Eight 3.5-inch Bays and Dual 750W Supplies

The chassis provides eight hot-plug 3.5-inch drive bays that accept SATA drives and connect to the integrated PERC H730P controller for hardware RAID. Two 750W power supplies deliver redundancy for continuous operation. A 10GbE dual-port 562T adapter handles network connectivity, while iDRAC9 Enterprise enables remote management. Rail kits are available separately for rack installation.

Redundant Cooling and Efficient Power Draw

Dual redundant power supplies and hot-plug fans maintain stable thermals under typical enterprise loads. The 750W units share load to reduce stress on each module, keeping fan speeds moderate and acoustic output low in a rack environment. Firmware is updated to the latest stable release before shipment, ensuring optimal power management and thermal control from first boot.

Questions about this item

What limits sustained performance on the two Xeon Silver 4214 processors?

The dual 750W power supplies and chassis airflow set the thermal ceiling for the 2.2GHz 12-core CPUs under continuous load

How loud and hot does the 2U rack chassis get during all-day operation?

Redundant 750W supplies and integrated fans cool the 256GB DDR4 and PERC H730P controller; acoustics match typical 2U rack density

Which drive trays and caddies must I already have to populate the 8LFF bays?

The 3.5-inch SATA bays require Dell 3.5" drive carriers; drives and carriers are not included with the server
