Dense 2U compute node

The Dell PowerEdge R740 packs two Xeon Silver 4210 processors at 2.2 GHz with ten cores each and 1.5 TB of DDR4 ECC memory into a 2U rack chassis. Sixteen 2.5-inch drive bays connect through a PERC H730P RAID controller. iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management is included.

Scale-up from single-socket

Moving from a one-socket server or a system capped below 1.5 TB RAM lets this node run larger in-memory databases and denser virtualisation clusters. The dual-processor layout and sixteen-bay chassis make the jump worthwhile when workloads outgrow a single CPU or eight-drive enclosure.

Suits virtualisation hosts and memory-heavy apps

Organisations running hypervisors, analytics platforms or container fleets that need high core counts and large memory pools will fit this chassis. Buyers who want more storage bays than sixteen or require GPU acceleration should look at something else.

Questions about this item

How many 2.5-inch drive bays does the R740 16SFF chassis provide for installation?

The chassis provides 16 drive bays for 2.5-inch drives, allowing high-density storage in a 2U rack form factor.

Which slot does the PERC H730P RAID controller occupy and how is it connected to the 16-bay backplane?

The PERC H730P controller installs in a dedicated internal slot and connects to the backplane through internal cabling included with the chassis.

What memory specification must replacement DIMMs match to expand beyond the installed 1536 GB?

Replacement DIMMs must be DDR4 ECC Registered modules to maintain compatibility with the Xeon Silver 4210 processors and the 3 TB maximum capacity.
