DELL PowerEdge R740 2U Rack Server 2x Silver 4210 10C 64GB 6x 2TB 7.2K SAS H740P

2U Rack Server with Dual Silver 4210 CPUs

This 2U rack server ships with two Intel Silver 4210 processors, each delivering 10 cores. It includes 64GB of DDR4 memory and six 2TB 7.2K SAS drives managed by an H740P controller. The platform targets virtualisation hosts, database nodes and dense compute clusters that need balanced core count and storage in a compact chassis.

Compatibility Checklist for Existing Racks

Verify the rack provides 2U of vertical space and supports the 8x 2.5" drive-bay chassis width. Confirm the power-distribution unit can feed dual 1100W redundant supplies. Ensure the network fabric accommodates the onboard Intel X550 dual 10Gb and dual 1Gb RJ45 ports. Check that PCIe Gen 3 slots match any add-in card requirements.

Sustained Load Behaviour

Under continuous workloads the dual 10-core CPUs maintain steady throughput for multi-threaded applications and virtual machines. The H740P controller sustains RAID performance across the six SAS spindles without throttling. Redundant 1100W power supplies share load evenly, while iDRAC9 Enterprise provides constant remote health monitoring and firmware-level control during extended operations.
