DELL PowerEdge R740 2x Silver 4210R 10C 256GB 8x 1.92TB SAS SSD H730P rack server

Dual Silver 4210R 1U rack server

The Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 fits a 1U rack slot and runs two Intel Silver 4210R processors at 2.4 GHz with ten cores each. The system ships with 256 GB of DDR4 memory installed across sixteen 16 GB modules. Eight 1.92 TB SAS SSDs provide solid-state storage managed by the H730P RAID controller. Remote management is handled through iDRAC9 Enterprise.

Workloads needing ten-core CPUs

This configuration suits environments that require redundant 1100 W power supplies, dual 10 GbE and dual 1 GbE ports, and up to eight PCIe Gen 3 expansion slots. Buyers who need more than eight 2.5-inch drive bays or a different processor core count should evaluate other platforms. The server includes rails, bezel and power cords for immediate rack deployment.

Eight-bay 2.5-inch SAS backplane

The chassis supports exactly eight 2.5-inch SAS SSD bays with no additional internal bays present. Storage capacity is therefore fixed at the eight installed 1.92 TB drives unless external enclosures are added. The H730P controller manages RAID across these bays. Verify that the bay count matches your capacity planning before purchase.
