DELL PowerEdge R740 2x Silver 4210R 10C 256GB 4x 800GB SAS SSD H730P rack server

Dual Silver 4210R 2U rack server

The Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 delivers two 10-core Intel Silver 4210R processors at 2.4GHz with 256GB of DDR4 memory across sixteen 16GB modules. Four 800GB SAS SSDs are managed by an H730P RAID controller inside an eight-bay 2.5-inch chassis. Integrated iDRAC9 Enterprise provides full remote management for data-centre deployment.

Sustained load behaviour

Dual 1100W redundant power supplies maintain uptime during continuous operation while the eight PCIe Gen 3 slots support additional I/O cards without throttling. The Intel X550 network daughter card supplies two 10Gb RJ45 and two 1Gb RJ45 ports for steady throughput. Sixteen memory channels feed the twenty cores to keep virtualisation hosts or database workloads responsive over long periods.

Pre-order checklist

Verify that your rack provides 2U of vertical space and adequate cooling airflow for the 1100W redundant PSU configuration. Confirm PCIe Gen 3 compatibility for any expansion cards you plan to install in the eight available slots. Ensure SAS cabling and backplane layout match the four installed 800GB SSDs and the H730P controller before integration.
