Dual-socket Xeon server for virtualisation workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R740 ships with two Intel Xeon Silver 4210 processors at 2.2 GHz, each offering 10 cores and 13.75 MB cache. A total of 256 GB DDR4 ECC registered memory is installed across the system. The chassis provides eight 2.5-inch drive bays ready for SATA media and a PERC H730P RAID controller for array management.

Dual 750 W supplies cool the 2U chassis under load

Two R720 power supplies rated at 750 W deliver redundant power to the CPUs, memory and drive backplane. Standard Dell thermal design moves air front-to-back through the 36 x 24 x 10 in enclosure. Acoustic output remains within typical data-centre limits for a 2U rack server running production workloads.

Maximum memory capacity of 3 TB decides upgrade

The platform supports up to 3 TB of DDR4 when all DIMM slots are populated with supported modules. Buyers who need more than 256 GB must plan a full memory expansion using compatible registered ECC sticks. Systems requiring larger capacity per socket or different processor generations are not served by this configuration.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 2.5" drives into the 8SFF bays and what step is often missed?

Slide each drive into a bay until the latch clicks; the step often missed is creating the virtual disk in the PERC H730P BIOS before the OS sees any volume.

What maintenance will the 750W power supplies need later?

The 2x 750W units are hot-swap; plan to replace a failed module within minutes and clean the front intake filter every few months to maintain airflow.

What limit appears first when the two 4210 CPUs run sustained workloads?

The 2.2GHz base clock across 20 total cores becomes the bottleneck before the 256GB DDR4 or the dual 10GbE 562T ports saturate.
