DELL PowerEdge R740 8x3.5" 2x Xeon Silver 4216 512GB DDR4

Dell PowerEdge R740 8x3.5" Server

This Dell PowerEdge R740 rack server arrives new with two Intel Xeon Silver 4216 processors running at 2.1GHz. It provides sixteen cores per CPU and a total of 512GB DDR4 ECC registered memory installed. The chassis supports up to eight 3.5-inch SATA drive bays and includes a PERC H730P RAID controller with iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management.

Suits memory-intensive workloads.

This configuration targets buyers who need high core counts and large memory capacity for virtualisation or database tasks. The dual-socket design maximises the 3TB maximum memory limit. Buyers who want fewer cores, less RAM, or a smaller chassis should look at alternative platforms.

512GB DDR4 decides fit for heavy workloads

The installed 512GB DDR4 ECC registered memory is the single specification that determines whether this server matches your workload. It fills a substantial portion of the 3TB maximum capacity and requires DDR4 modules for any expansion. Verify your application memory requirements against this figure before purchase.
