DELL R740 2x Silver 4210R 10C 512GB 8x 1.92TB SAS SSD H730P

Dell PowerEdge R740 1U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 1U rack server equipped with two Intel Silver 4210R 10-core processors running at 2.4GHz. It ships with 512GB of DDR4 memory across sixteen 32GB modules and eight 1.92TB SAS SSDs managed by an H730P RAID controller. Dual redundant 1100W power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management are included.

Suits dense compute and storage workloads

This configuration suits environments that need high core counts and large fast storage in a single rack unit. The eight 2.5-inch drive bays are fully populated, so buyers who need additional internal drive bays or a different drive interface should look at other chassis options. The fixed 512GB memory capacity also means the system is not for workloads requiring larger memory footprints.

Two Silver 4210R 10-core CPUs

The dual 10-core processors provide twenty total cores at 2.4GHz with 13.75MB cache each, defining the compute ceiling for this server. Buyers whose applications demand higher per-core frequency or greater core counts will need a different processor configuration. The installed CPU choice is the primary factor in deciding whether this server matches the workload.
