Dell PowerEdge R740 16SFF dual Xeon server
The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack-mount server fitted with two Intel Xeon Silver 4210 processors running at 2.2 GHz. It ships with 512 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H730P RAID controller supporting SAS drives. The 16-bay 2.5-inch chassis and dual 1100 W power supplies provide a dense, redundant platform for virtualisation, database or high-performance computing workloads. Remote management is handled by iDRAC9 with an Enterprise licence.
Suited to teams needing maximum memory
This configuration suits organisations that want a ready-to-run dual-socket server with 512 GB of RAM and space for sixteen hot-plug SAS drives. Buyers who need a tower form factor, a single-processor layout, or a server that arrives with storage already installed should consider other options. The unit is sold without drives, so a separate drive purchase is required before deployment.
512 GB DDR4 ECC registered memory installed
The single specification that decides fit is the 512 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory already populated across the motherboard. This capacity matches the needs of memory-intensive applications such as in-memory databases or large virtualisation clusters. If the workload demands more than the supported 3 TB maximum or requires a different memory generation, this server will not meet the requirement.

Questions about this item
How many 2.5-inch drive bays does the R740 16SFF chassis provide for SAS drives?
The chassis supports up to 16 SAS drive bays in a 2.5-inch form factor, matching the 16SFF designation in the model name.
What is the correct order for installing the two Xeon Silver 4210 processors into the socket?
Install the first CPU into socket CPU1, then add the second processor into CPU2; the system will not POST if only the second socket is populated.
When the 512 GB DDR4 ECC registered memory reaches its 3 TB limit, what type of modules are required for expansion?
Additional DDR4 ECC registered DIMMs must be used; mixing unbuffered or non-ECC modules will prevent the server from booting.
