Ready-to-deploy 1U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 ships as a complete 1U rack system with two Silver 4210R processors, each providing 10 cores at 2.4GHz, 64GB of DDR4 memory across four 16GB modules, and six 1.92TB SAS SSDs managed by an H730P RAID controller. Dual redundant 1100W power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management are included, along with rails, bezel and power cords. Up to eight PCIe Gen 3 slots and an Intel X550 network daughter card with two 10Gb RJ45 and two 1Gb RJ45 ports give flexible I/O expansion. No optical drive is fitted.

Fits dense compute clusters, not GPU-heavy workloads

This configuration suits buyers who need a verified, firmware-current 1U platform for virtualisation, database or general-purpose compute where the installed 10-core CPUs and 64GB memory match the licence or workload profile. The six SAS SSDs and H730P controller cover typical mixed-read/write arrays. Builders who need more than eight 2.5-inch drive bays, a GPU-capable riser, or a higher core-count processor should look at a different chassis or CPU option. Export-restricted units are not eligible for international shipment.

Two Silver 4210R 10-core CPUs define

The pair of 2.4GHz 10-core processors sets the thread count and clock speed for every workload on this server; memory speed is fixed at 2666 MT/s across the four installed DIMMs. If the application requires more cores per socket, higher base frequency, or a different memory population, the CPU choice becomes the limiting factor. All other specifications — storage count, RAID level, network ports and expansion slots — scale around this processor baseline.

Questions about this item

How much power do the dual 1100W redundant supplies draw when the 2.4 GHz 10-core Silver 4210R CPUs run at full load all day?

The 1100W redundant power supplies deliver up to 1100W each; actual draw depends on the workload placed on the two 10-core 2.4 GHz Silver 4210R processors and the six 1.92TB SAS SSDs.

Which rails, cables or network switches must I already have to install this 1U R740 with its Intel X550 10Gb and 1Gb RJ45 ports?

The server ships with sliding rails, bezel and power cords; you only need a rack with square holes and Cat6a or better cabling for the dual 10Gb RJ45 and dual 1Gb RJ45 links.

Will my existing PCIe Gen 2 storage cards work in the R740's PCIe Gen 3 slots alongside the H730P controller?

The eight PCIe Gen 3 slots are backward compatible with Gen 2 cards, so older controllers or NICs will function at Gen 2 speeds beside the H730P RAID adapter.
