Ready-to-deploy rack server

The Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 arrives with dual Intel Silver 4210R processors, each delivering ten cores at 2.4 GHz, and 512 GB of DDR4 memory installed across sixteen 32 GB modules. Two 1.92 TB SAS read-intensive SSDs are configured behind an H730P RAID controller. The 1U chassis includes iDRAC9 Enterprise for remote management, redundant 1100 W power supplies, and an Intel X550 network daughter card providing two 10 Gb RJ45 and two 1 Gb RJ45 ports.

Verify rack depth and PCIe slot plan

Confirm that your rack can accommodate a 1U server with the included sliding rails and that front-access 2.5-inch drive bays align with your cabling layout. The system offers up to eight PCIe Gen 3 expansion slots, so check the quantity and profile of any add-in cards you intend to install. Ensure the facility power distribution can supply two C13 connections for the redundant PSUs and that network uplinks support 10 Gb RJ45 links.

Included rails bezel and cords simplify installation

The packaged rack rails enable tool-less mounting in standard four-post racks, while the front bezel without an LCD panel secures the drive bay area. Two power cords are supplied so both PSUs can be connected immediately. iDRAC9 Enterprise is pre-licensed, granting full remote console, virtual media, and lifecycle management features without an additional licence purchase.

Questions about this item

What comes with the R740 and what must I add?

The server ships with two Silver 4210R processors, 512 GB DDR4 in sixteen 32 GB modules, two 1.92 TB SAS SSDs, an H730P RAID controller, dual 1100 W redundant power supplies, iDRAC9 Enterprise, bezel, rails and power cords. No optical drive is included; additional 2.5" drives or PCIe cards are optional.

How do I decide between the Silver 4210R and the Gold 6150?

The Silver 4210R runs at 2.4 GHz with 10 cores and 13.75 MB cache per CPU; the Gold 6150 offers 18 cores at a higher frequency. Choose the Silver for cost-sensitive virtualisation density; choose the Gold when per-core performance and higher thread count justify the extra spend.

What does the 512 GB DDR4-2666 figure mean once the R740 is running workloads?

It provides sixteen 32 GB PC4-2666 modules filling every DIMM slot, delivering maximum memory bandwidth for the dual 10-core CPUs and leaving no room for further RAM expansion without removing modules.
