DELL PowerEdge R740 2U rack server 2x Silver 4210R 10C 2.4GHz 128GB 8x 800GB SAS SSD H730P

Dual Silver 4210R compute node

The Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Silver 4210R processors, each running at 2.4 GHz with ten cores. It ships with 128 GB of DDR4 memory arranged as eight 16 GB modules at 2666 MT/s. This configuration targets virtualisation clusters, database nodes and dense compute workloads that need balanced core count and memory capacity in a standard rack footprint.

Eight-bay SAS storage with H730P RAID

The chassis provides eight 2.5-inch drive bays, all populated with 800 GB SAS SSDs behind a H730P hardware RAID controller. The controller supports cache-backed RAID levels for redundancy and consistent I/O latency. Network connectivity comes from an Intel X550 NDC delivering two 10 Gb RJ45 ports and two 1 Gb RJ45 ports, while up to eight PCIe Gen 3 slots remain available for additional NICs, HBAs or accelerators.

iDRAC9 Enterprise and redundant power

Remote management is handled by iDRAC9 Enterprise, enabling out-of-band console access, firmware orchestration and telemetry without an operating system. Dual 1100 W redundant power supplies maintain uptime during a module failure. The package includes sliding rails, a front bezel without an LCD panel and power cords, so the server can be racked and cabled immediately. Buyers who need an internal optical drive or larger 3.5-inch drive bays should consider a different chassis.
