Dual Intel Silver 4210R 10-core 2U server

This new Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 rack server ships with two Intel Silver 4210R processors running at 2.4 GHz, each providing ten cores and 13.75 MB cache. The system includes 32 GB of DDR4 memory configured as two 16 GB PC4-2666 modules. Four 300 GB 10K SAS drives are installed behind an H730P RAID controller.

Suited for dense compute

The 2U chassis holds up to eight 2.5-inch drive bays, so four bays remain free for storage expansion. Dual 1100 W redundant power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management support continuous operation. Up to eight PCIe Gen 3 slots provide I/O flexibility. Organisations needing integrated GPU acceleration or Fibre Channel connectivity should evaluate other platforms.

H730P RAID controller with 45 drives max support

The installed H730P controller manages the four 300 GB 10K SAS drives and supports up to 45 drives in total across internal and external enclosures. This capacity ceiling determines whether the server can meet your storage growth requirements.

Questions about this item

What rack space must I have free to install this 2U PowerEdge R740?

The server fits in 2U of vertical space in a standard rack cabinet.

Will the Intel X550 10Gb and 1Gb RJ45 ports on the NDC work with my existing Cat5e patch cables?

Yes, the 1Gb RJ45 ports operate over Cat5e, while the 10Gb RJ45 ports require Cat6a or better for full speed.

How can I confirm the H730P controller sees all four 300GB 10K SAS drives after first boot?

Open the H730P BIOS utility or check iDRAC9 Enterprise storage view; both should list four 300GB drives in a healthy RAID set.
