DELL PowerEdge R740 2U Rack Server 2x Xeon Silver 4110 2.1GHz 8 Core 256GB DDR4 2x 400GB SSD H730P

DELL PowerEdge R740 2U Server

The DELL PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built for compute-intensive workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Silver 4110 processors running at 2.1 GHz, each delivering eight cores. The system includes 256 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across eight 32 GB modules. Dual 400 GB SATA SSDs and a PERC H730P controller provide the storage foundation.

Suits dual-socket virtualisation and database roles

This configuration fits environments that need two sockets, redundant 750 W power supplies and integrated 10 Gb SFP+ networking. The 24 DIMM slots support up to 3 TB of DDR4 for future growth. Buyers who need more than two processors, more than eight drive bays, or a taller chassis for additional storage should look at a different platform. The included iDRAC9 Enterprise and rails simplify deployment in standard racks.

PERC H730P RAID controller with 2 GB cache

The installed Dell PERC H730P 2 GB controller manages the two 400 GB SATA SSDs and any additional drives. It supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. The 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA interface connects to the eight 2.5-inch drive bays. Battery-backed cache protects in-flight writes during power loss.
