2U Rack Server with Dual Silver 4210R

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server fitted with two Intel Silver 4210R processors. Each CPU runs at 2.4 GHz with ten cores and 13.75 MB cache. The system ships with 128 GB of DDR4 memory across eight 16 GB modules operating at 2666 MT/s.

Suited to Virtualisation, Not GPU Workloads

This configuration suits environments that need balanced compute and internal storage, such as virtualisation hosts or database nodes. The eight 2.5-inch bays are fully occupied by 480 GB SATA SSDs managed by an H730P RAID controller. Organisations requiring GPU acceleration or additional internal drive slots should consider other platforms.

Dual 10 GbE Ports on Intel X550 NDC

The network daughter card provides two 10 Gb RJ45 ports alongside two 1 Gb RJ45 ports. This built-in 10 GbE connectivity is the key specification for buyers who need high-throughput networking without consuming a PCIe slot. Remote management is handled by iDRAC9 Enterprise.

Questions about this item

Will the 2.4 GHz Silver 4210R CPUs work with my existing DDR4-2666 memory modules?

Yes — the system runs 128 GB of DDR4 at PC4-2666, so your current DDR4-2666 sticks will match the installed speed.

How can I verify the H730P RAID controller sees all eight 480 GB SSDs after installation?

Open the iDRAC9 Enterprise interface or the controller BIOS during POST; both will list each 480 GB SATA SSD and the configured virtual disks.

Do the included rails and power cords fit a standard 2U rack, or must I order a different rail kit?

The bezel, rails and power cords are included and designed for the 2U R740 chassis, so no extra rail kit is required.
