DELL R740 2x Silver 4210R 10C 64GB 4x 1.92TB SAS SSD H730P

Dell R740 1U rack server with dual 10-core CPUs

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 1U rack-mount server equipped with two Intel Silver 4210R processors, each running at 2.4 GHz with ten cores and 13.75 MB cache. It ships with 64 GB of DDR4 memory installed as four 16 GB modules operating at 2666 MT/s. Four 1.92 TB SAS read-intensive SSDs are pre-installed behind an H730P RAID controller. The chassis provides eight 2.5-inch drive bays in total. Remote management is handled by iDRAC9 Enterprise.

Verify rack depth and PCIe slot requirements

Confirm that your rack can accommodate a 1U server with redundant 1100 W power supplies and included sliding rails. The system offers up to eight PCIe Gen 3 expansion slots, so check the quantity and profile of any add-in cards you plan to install. Network connectivity includes an Intel X550 dual-port 10 Gb RJ45 adapter plus two 1 Gb RJ45 ports; ensure your switch ports and cabling match these interfaces. No optical drive is fitted, so plan for USB or network-based media if required.

Fits dense compute clusters needing fast local

The eight-bay 2.5-inch chassis leaves four empty bays for additional SAS SSDs or HDDs, allowing capacity growth without expanding the rack footprint. Redundant 1100 W power supplies free the build from single-point power failures. Dual 10 Gb Ethernet ports reduce the need for separate NICs in storage-heavy workloads. iDRAC9 Enterprise enables out-of-band management, freeing administrators from physical console access. The H730P controller supports hardware RAID across all installed and future drives.
