Ready-to-deploy dual-socket server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 arrives with two Xeon Silver 4210 processors running at 2.2 GHz and 384 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. The 8-bay 3.5-inch chassis supports SATA drives through a PERC H730P RAID controller. Integrated graphics and a 10 GbE 562T dual-port adapter handle display and network needs out of the box.

Bundled controller and remote management

The PERC H730P provides hardware RAID for the eight drive bays, letting you configure redundancy or capacity before the first boot. iDRAC9 with an Enterprise licence gives full out-of-band control over power, firmware and console access without an operating system. Dual 750 W supplies deliver redundant power for the populated CPU sockets and memory.

Maximum memory capacity of 3 TB

The platform supports up to 3 TB of DDR4 across its DIMM slots, so the installed 384 GB leaves ample room for future expansion. Buyers who need more than 3 TB of system memory must choose a different server generation.

Questions about this item

When will the PERC H730P RAID controller or the two 750 W power supplies need replacement?

The PERC H730P controller and dual 750 W supplies are built for continuous operation; plan replacement only if a drive rebuild fails or a supply shows a fault LED during iDRAC monitoring.

What limit appears first when the two Xeon Silver 4210 CPUs run at 2.2 GHz all day?

Memory capacity hits the 384 GB installed ceiling before the dual 10-core processors saturate, so large datasets will page to disk first.

How much fan noise and heat does the 2U chassis produce with both 750 W supplies loaded?

The 2U rack chassis uses redundant 750 W supplies and iDRAC-controlled fans; expect typical data-centre noise levels and heat output matched to the installed 384 GB DDR4 and dual CPUs.
