DELL PowerEdge R740 2U Rack Server 2x Xeon Silver 4110 2.1GHz 64GB DDR4 H730P 8x 2.5" Trays

Dual Xeon Silver 4110 2U Rack Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built around two Intel Xeon Silver 4110 processors, each running at 2.1 GHz with eight cores. It ships with 64 GB of DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC memory across four modules and includes a PERC H730P storage controller with 2 GB cache. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management come standard.

General-purpose compute for virtualization

This configuration suits teams that need balanced CPU performance and memory capacity for virtualization clusters, database workloads or general business applications. The eight 2.5-inch SAS/SATA drive bays and quad-port networking card with two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports support typical storage and connectivity needs. Buyers who require pre-populated SSDs or more than 24 DIMM slots should evaluate other platforms.

64 GB DDR4 memory installed across 24 slots

The system arrives with 64 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory populated in four of the 24 available slots, leaving room to scale toward the 3 TB maximum. This starting capacity determines whether the server can handle your current virtual machine density or database buffer requirements before additional modules are purchased.
