1U Rack Server With Dual Silver CPUs

The Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 is a 1U rack server equipped with two Intel Silver 4210R processors, each offering 10 cores at 2.4 GHz. It comes with 256 GB of DDR4 memory installed across 16 modules and four 1.92 TB SAS RI SSDs managed by an H730P RAID controller. Redundant 1100 W power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management are included.

Suited For Dense Virtualisation, Not GPU Workloads

This configuration suits organisations consolidating virtual machines or running memory-intensive databases in a single rack unit. The 256 GB capacity and dual 10-core CPUs handle moderate parallel workloads well. Buyers who need GPU acceleration, more than eight PCIe Gen 3 slots, or larger local storage arrays should look at a different platform.

Fits Standard Racks, Leaves Four Drive Bays Free

The chassis occupies one rack unit and provides eight 2.5-inch drive bays, leaving four bays available for future expansion. Network connectivity uses an Intel X550 adapter with two 10 Gb RJ45 and two 1 Gb RJ45 ports. Rails, bezel and power cords are supplied, so the server can be racked and powered immediately.

Questions about this item

Does the 1U chassis come with rails so it can be mounted in a standard rack?

Rails are included with the server so the 1U chassis can be secured in a standard rack without extra hardware.

Can the installed Silver 4210R processors share the PCIe Gen 3 slots with an older H730P controller I already own?

The H730P RAID controller is already installed and occupies one PCIe Gen 3 slot, leaving the remaining slots available for other cards.

How can I verify the 256 GB of DDR4 memory is recognised after first boot?

Open the iDRAC9 Enterprise interface or enter the system BIOS to confirm all 16 DIMM slots show 16 GB each at 2666 MT/s.
