Dual Silver 4210R 2U rack server
The Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rackmount server fitted with two Intel Silver 4210R processors. Each CPU provides 10 cores running at 2.4 GHz with 13.75 MB cache. It ships with 512 GB of DDR4 memory across 16 modules of 32 GB each. This configuration targets virtualisation hosts and database workloads that need high core counts and large memory capacity.
Sustained load behaviour
The system includes an 1100 W redundant power supply to maintain operation during a single unit failure. Eight 480 GB SATA SSDs connect to the H730P RAID controller for hardware RAID acceleration. Dual 10 Gb RJ45 ports on the Intel X550 network controller deliver consistent throughput for storage replication or cluster traffic. PCIe Gen 3 slots allow additional accelerators or network adapters without reducing bandwidth under load.
Build quality and daily connectivity
The chassis supports eight 2.5 inch drive bays, all populated with the included SSDs. iDRAC9 Enterprise provides dedicated remote management for power control, console access and firmware updates without visiting the rack. Rails, bezel and power cords are supplied for immediate rack installation. No optical drive is fitted, freeing the front panel for drive density.

Questions sur cet article
How loud and hot does the R740 get when the dual Silver 4210R CPUs run at 2.4 GHz continuously?
The 2U chassis uses redundant 1100W power supplies and multiple system fans that ramp with CPU load; sustained 2.4 GHz operation on both 10-core processors will draw significant power and produce noticeable fan noise in a typical server room.
What infrastructure must already be in place for this 2U rack server to operate?
A standard 2U rack space, two C13-compatible PDU outlets for the redundant 1100W supplies, and network cabling for the four onboard RJ45 ports (two 10Gb and two 1Gb) are required.
Will the H730P RAID controller and the eight 480GB SATA SSDs work with older PCIe Gen 2 expansion cards I might keep?
The server provides up to eight PCIe Gen 3 slots; Gen 2 cards will function at Gen 2 speeds, while the H730P manages the eight 480GB SATA SSDs independently of the PCIe backplane.
