DELL PowerEdge R740 8SFF 2x Xeon Silver 4210 2.2GHz 1536GB DDR4

Dual Xeon Silver 4210 Rack Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack-mount server system equipped with two Intel Xeon Silver 4210 processors running at 2.2GHz. Each CPU provides 10 cores and 13.75 MB of cache. The chassis supports up to eight 2.5-inch drive bays and ships with 1.5TB of DDR4 ECC registered memory installed. A PERC H730P RAID controller and dual 750W power supplies are included. Remote management is handled by iDRAC9 with an Enterprise licence.

Virtualisation hosts needing dense memory

This configuration suits organisations that run memory-intensive virtualisation, database or high-performance computing workloads and want a ready-to-deploy platform with dual-socket capacity already populated. Buyers who require pre-installed storage drives or GPU-accelerated compute should evaluate alternative chassis or expansion options. The fixed eight-bay 2.5-inch backplane also limits users who need larger 3.5-inch drive support.

1.5TB DDR4 ECC registered memory

The single specification that decides fit is the installed 1.5TB of DDR4 ECC registered memory across the two processors. This capacity determines how many virtual machines, containers or in-memory databases can run simultaneously without swapping. The system can be expanded to a maximum of 3TB if future workloads demand more memory.
