Dell PowerEdge R740 dual Silver 4210R server

This 2U rack server ships with two Intel Silver 4210R processors, each delivering 10 cores at 2.4 GHz. The system includes 256 GB of DDR4 memory arranged as sixteen 16 GB modules running at 2666 MT/s. It is aimed at organisations that need a dense, general-purpose compute node for virtualisation or database workloads.

Suited to teams running mixed enterprise workloads

Buyers who need GPU acceleration will find no dedicated graphics support in this configuration. Workloads that demand more than eight 2.5-inch drive bays or a different storage protocol should evaluate other platforms. The integrated Intel X550 adapter provides two 10 Gb RJ45 and two 1 Gb RJ45 ports for network connectivity.

Eight 800 GB SAS SSDs with H730P RAID controller

The storage subsystem populates all eight front bays with 800 GB SAS solid-state drives managed by the H730P controller. This combination determines usable capacity, redundancy level and I/O performance for the deployment. Remote management is handled by iDRAC9 Enterprise and the unit includes redundant 1100 W power supplies, rails, bezel and power cords.

Questions about this item

What rack depth and rail kit does the 2U PowerEdge R740 require?

The server is a 2U chassis with included sliding rails; it mounts in standard four-post racks deep enough to hold the full chassis length.

Which memory slots are populated by the 256GB DDR4 configuration?

The 256GB ships as 16x 16GB DDR4 PC4-2666 modules, filling 16 DIMM slots across the two processors.

How many 2.5-inch drive bays remain free after the 8x 800GB SAS SSDs are installed?

The chassis provides 8x 2.5" bays and all 8 are occupied by the installed SSDs, so no bays remain for additional drives.
