Configuration summary

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server fitted with two Intel Xeon Silver 4210 processors running at 2.2 GHz and 256 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. A PERC H730P RAID controller manages up to sixteen 2.5-inch SATA drive bays, while dual 1100 W supplies and an iDRAC9 Enterprise licence handle power and remote management. The chassis measures 36 by 24 by 10 inches and weighs 40 units.

Who this suits

Virtualisation hosts, database nodes and compute clusters that need dual-socket performance and large memory capacity within a standard rack footprint will match this specification well. Buyers who need more than two processor sockets or memory beyond the 3 TB ceiling should look at a different platform. Environments that require a GPU for accelerated workloads are also not addressed by the integrated graphics fitted here.

Deciding specification

The sixteen 2.5-inch SATA bays backed by the PERC H730P controller set the storage topology for this server. If the workload demands that drive count and RAID flexibility, the chassis fits; if the design calls for a different bay count or a non-SATA interface, another system will be required.

Questions about this item

What drive caddies are needed for the 16 SFF bays?

The chassis accepts sixteen 2.5-inch drive trays; each bay requires a Dell 2.5" caddy to secure a SATA SSD or HDD.

Can the PERC H730P controller manage existing SATA drives from an older server?

Yes, the H730P supports SATA so legacy 2.5-inch SATA drives work once mounted in the correct caddies.

How do I confirm both Xeon Silver 4210 CPUs and all 256 GB of DDR4 are recognised?

Check the iDRAC9 inventory or POST screen — it should list two 10-core 2.2 GHz processors and 256 GB DDR4 ECC memory.
