2U rack server for dense compute
The Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 fits two Silver 4210 processors, each with 10 cores, and 512 GB of DDR4 memory across 16 modules. It targets workloads that need many threads in a compact rack footprint, such as virtualisation hosts or database nodes. Buyers who require more than 16 memory slots or a larger 3.5-inch drive bay count should look elsewhere.
Sustained load behaviour
Two 1100 W redundant power supplies feed the system, while the H740P controller manages the installed 2x 2 TB 7.2K NL SAS drives. Eight PCIe Gen 3 slots and the Intel X550 dual 10 Gb RJ45 plus dual 1 Gb RJ45 network daughter card provide steady I/O bandwidth for long-running jobs. The iDRAC9 Enterprise module allows remote power cycling and console access without physical presence.
Build quality and daily implications
The 2U chassis holds eight 2.5-inch drive bays and includes a bezel, sliding rails and power cords. No optical drive is fitted, so OS installation relies on USB or network boot. Rails suit standard square-hole racks; the fixed depth may limit use in shallow cabinets. Buyers needing tool-less 3.5-inch hot-swap trays or an integrated LCD panel will not find them here.

Questions sur cet article
How loud and hot does the R740 run with dual Silver 4210 10C processors and 512GB DDR4 under continuous load?
The server uses redundant 1100W supplies and standard Dell cooling for 2U density; expect typical rack-server noise and heat levels for this class.
Which rails, cabling and rack depth do I need to install this 2U chassis with 8x 2.5" bays and the H740P controller?
Bezel, sliding rails and power cords are included; ensure your rack accepts 2U height and provides SAS cabling for the H740P backplane.
Can the iDRAC9 Enterprise and Intel X550 10GbE ports work with my existing 1GbE switches and older monitoring tools?
The X550 ports auto-negotiate down to 1GbE and iDRAC9 supports standard IPMI, Redfish and SNMP for legacy management integration.
