DELL PowerEdge R740 8SFF 1x Xeon Silver 4210 256GB DDR4 No Drive

Dell PowerEdge R740 8SFF server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 8SFF is a 2U rack-mount server system built for virtualisation and database workloads. It arrives with a single Intel Xeon Silver 4210 processor running at 2.2 GHz and 256 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. Eight 2.5-inch drive bays and a PERC H730P RAID controller provide flexible internal storage options. Remote management is handled by iDRAC9 with an Enterprise licence.

Ideal for single-socket deployments

This configuration suits organisations that need a dense 2U platform with high memory capacity and room for up to eight SATA drives. It is less suited for buyers who require dual processors from day one, GPU-accelerated compute, or 10 GbE networking beyond the fitted 562T adapter. The single 4210 CPU leaves one socket free for future expansion if workloads grow.

256 GB DDR4 ECC registered memory

The installed 256 GB of DDR4 ECC registered RAM determines whether this server can hold your active dataset without swapping. The platform supports a maximum of 3 TB across twenty-four DIMM slots, so additional modules can be added later. Verify that your application fits within the current 256 GB or plan for a memory upgrade at purchase.
