DELL PowerEdge R740 2U rack server 2× Silver 4210R 10C 2.4GHz 512GB DDR4 2× 960GB SATA SSD H730P

Rack Server for Dense Compute

The Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 fits into a 2U rack space and delivers dual Intel Silver 4210R processors, each with 10 cores at 2.4GHz. With 512GB of DDR4 memory installed across 16 modules of 32GB PC4-2666, it targets virtualisation hosts, database nodes and high-throughput application tiers that need strong multi-thread performance in a compact form factor.

Eight-Bay Chassis with H730P RAID

The chassis provides eight 2.5-inch drive bays; two 960GB SATA SSDs are installed and managed by an H730P RAID controller. Network connectivity comes from an Intel X550 NDC offering two 10Gb RJ45 and two 1Gb RJ45 ports, while up to eight PCIe Gen 3 slots allow additional controllers or accelerators. Redundant 1100W power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management are included, along with rails, bezel and power cords.

Verify Rack Depth and PCIe Plans

Confirm your rack depth can accommodate the 2U chassis and that the eight 2.5-inch bay layout matches your storage density requirements. Ensure the PCIe Gen 3 slot count and physical length suit any add-in cards you intend to install. The system ships with no optical drive, so plan for USB or network-based media if local installation media are required.
