DELL PowerEdge R740 2U Rack Server 2x Silver 4210R 10C 512GB 2x 7.68TB SAS SSD H730P

2U rack server for virtualisation

The Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 fits in a standard 2U rack space and ships with dual Intel Silver 4210R processors, each running at 2.4 GHz with 10 cores. A total of 512 GB DDR4 memory is installed across 16 modules of 32 GB at 2666 MT/s. The H730P RAID controller manages two 7.68 TB SAS SSDs, leaving six 2.5-inch bays free for expansion.

Dual 1100 W redundant supplies

Redundant 1100 W power supplies share the load and keep the system running if one unit fails. Air moves from the front bezel through the chassis to the rear, cooling both CPUs and the eight drive bays. The iDRAC9 Enterprise controller provides out-of-band monitoring and remote power control without loading the host operating system.

512 GB DDR4 in 16 slots limits further memory

All 16 DIMM sockets are populated with 32 GB modules, so any increase requires replacing existing sticks rather than adding new ones. Buyers who need more than 512 GB of RAM must plan for a full memory swap. The eight PCIe Gen 3 slots remain available for additional network or accelerator cards.
