Purpose-built 2U compute node

The Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 packs two Intel Silver 4210R processors, each with 10 cores at 2.4 GHz, and 128 GB of DDR4 memory across eight 16 GB modules. It targets workloads that need balanced core count and memory capacity in a standard rack footprint.

Storage controller and networking

The H730P RAID controller manages the two installed 1.92 TB SAS SSDs and supports up to eight 2.5-inch drive bays for expansion. Onboard networking uses an Intel X550 adapter providing two 10 Gb RJ45 ports and two 1 Gb RJ45 ports for flexible uplink options.

Rack integration and service access

Included sliding rails and bezel simplify mounting in standard cabinets, while redundant 1100 W power supplies allow hot-swap replacement without downtime. iDRAC9 Enterprise gives full remote console and firmware management over a dedicated network link. Buyers needing more than eight drive bays or PCIe Gen 4 slots should evaluate larger chassis options.

Questions about this item

What is the expected lifespan of the 1.92 TB SAS SSDs before they need replacement?

The 1.92 TB SAS RI SSDs are read-intensive drives; their write endurance is lower than mixed-use models, so plan replacement once the rated drive writes per day are reached under your workload.

Which component hits its limit first when the dual Silver 4210R CPUs run at 2.4 GHz continuously?

The 1100 W redundant PSUs and chassis airflow set the thermal ceiling; sustained 100 % CPU load will throttle before memory or storage saturates.

How much heat and fan noise do the 1100 W redundant PSUs produce during all-day operation?

Dual 1100 W PSUs share the load, keeping each unit in its efficient range, so fan speeds stay moderate and exhaust heat matches the combined CPU and memory draw.
