DELL PowerEdge R740 2U Rack Server 2x Silver 4210R 10C 128GB 6x 960GB SAS SSD H730P

2U Rack Server with Dual Silver 4210R Processors

The Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rackmount server system built for virtualisation and database workloads. It ships with two Intel Silver 4210R 10‑core CPUs running at 2.4GHz and 128GB of DDR4 memory across eight 16GB modules. This configuration suits organisations consolidating multiple applications onto a single chassis.

Eight 2.5‑Inch Drive Bays and H730P RAID Controller

The chassis provides eight 2.5‑inch bays; six are populated with 960GB SAS SSDs managed by an H730P controller with dedicated cache. Dual 1100W redundant power supplies and included sliding rails simplify rack installation and ongoing uptime. iDRAC9 Enterprise enables full remote management without a local console.

PCIe Gen 3 Expansion Limited to Eight Slots

Up to eight PCIe Gen 3 slots are available for additional networking or acceleration cards, but the bus tops out at Gen 3 speeds. The onboard Intel X550 delivers two 10Gb RJ45 and two 1Gb RJ45 ports, so extra 10Gb NICs consume slot budget. Buyers needing PCIe Gen 4 bandwidth or more than eight add‑in cards must look elsewhere.
