Dell PowerEdge R740 2U Server
The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built for virtualisation and database workloads. It ships with dual Intel Silver 4210R processors, each delivering 10 cores at 2.4GHz. The system includes 256GB of DDR4 memory across 16 modules and a PERC H730P RAID controller. Six 120GB SATA SSDs are pre-installed in the 2.5-inch drive bays.
Suits dense compute clusters, not GPU farms
This configuration fits organisations running memory-heavy applications across multiple virtual machines. The 16 DIMM population leaves no empty slots for further expansion without replacing modules. Buyers needing GPU acceleration should look elsewhere, as the specification lists no graphics adapters. The 1100W redundant power supply supports the current components only.
8-bay 2.5-inch chassis limits total capacity
The server provides eight 2.5-inch drive bays, with six currently occupied by 120GB SATA SSDs. Only two bays remain for additional storage without external enclosures. The H730P controller manages RAID across these bays. Organisations requiring larger raw capacity must evaluate whether the remaining slots meet their needs.

Questions sur cet article
How do I verify the two Silver 4210R CPUs and 256 GB DDR4 are recognised after first boot?
Open the iDRAC9 Enterprise interface and check the System > Inventory page; it will list both 10-core 2.4 GHz processors and all 16 DIMMs running at PC4-2666 speeds.
Which items ship with the R740 and which must be sourced separately?
The server includes the 2U chassis with 8-bay 2.5" backplane, dual 1100 W redundant PSUs, bezel, rails, power cords, H730P RAID controller, Intel X550 NDC with 2×10 Gb and 2×1 Gb RJ45 ports, and 6×120 GB SATA SSDs; additional drives or PCIe cards are not included.
Should I choose the 6×120 GB SATA SSD configuration or add larger drives for capacity?
The 6×120 GB SATA RI SSDs fill six of the eight 2.5" bays and provide fast boot and caching; if you need more raw capacity, populate the two empty bays with higher-capacity 2.5" SATA drives supported by the H730P controller.
