Dell PowerEdge R740 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built for virtualisation and database workloads. It ships with two Intel Silver 4210 processors, each with 10 cores, and 512 GB of DDR4 memory installed across 16 DIMM slots. Four 2 TB 7.2 K NL SAS drives and a H740P RAID controller provide the baseline storage array.

Verify rack depth and PCIe slot plan

Confirm that your rack can accommodate a 2U chassis with eight 2.5-inch drive bays and up to eight PCIe Gen 3 slots for additional adapters. The system includes an Intel X550 dual-port 10 Gb RJ45 and dual-port 1 Gb RJ45 network daughter card, so check cabling and switch port availability. Ensure the 1100 W redundant power supplies match your PDU connectors and voltage supply.

Enterprise chassis with iDRAC9 remote management

The server arrives with bezel, sliding rails and power cords for immediate rack integration. iDRAC9 Enterprise enables full out-of-band control over KVM, power cycling and firmware updates without physical access. Redundant 1100 W supplies and hot-swap drive bays support continuous operation during component replacement.

Questions about this item

Does the server ship with rails and power cords, or must they be purchased separately?

Bezel, rails and power cords are included in the box, so no extra items are needed for basic rack installation.

Should I choose the Silver 4210 10-core or the Gold 6126 12-core processor option for this R740?

The Gold 6126 12-core at 2.6 GHz provides two additional cores per CPU and higher clock speed, which benefits multi-threaded workloads such as virtualization or database hosting.

What usable capacity do the four 2 TB 7.2K SAS drives provide in a typical RAID configuration?

Four 2 TB drives in RAID 10 deliver approximately 4 TB of redundant storage, while RAID 5 provides roughly 6 TB with single-drive fault tolerance.
