DELL PowerEdge R740 2U 2x Silver 4210R 10C 32GB 8x 960GB SAS SSD H730P

Dell PowerEdge R740 2U Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server powered by two Intel Silver 4210R processors, each with 10 cores at 2.4 GHz. It ships with 32 GB of DDR4 memory in a two-module configuration and eight 960 GB SAS SSDs managed by an H730P RAID controller. Remote management is handled by iDRAC9 Enterprise.

Suits virtualisation hosts needing dense 2.5-inch

Organisations running virtualised workloads that benefit from eight hot-swap bays and dual 10 Gb Ethernet ports will find the chassis well matched. Buyers who want more storage capacity than eight drives provide or who require PCIe Gen 4 expansion slots should look at alternative platforms.

Rails and bezel are included for standard rack

The unit fits a conventional four-post rack using the supplied rails and ships with redundant 1100 W power supplies already installed. The only common issue is verifying that the H730P firmware matches the SSD firmware before deploying arrays, as mismatched versions can delay initial configuration.
