16-bay 2U server for dual-socket workloads
The Dell PowerEdge R740 chassis holds up to sixteen 2.5-inch drives in a 2U rack form factor. It ships with two Xeon Silver 4210 processors at 2.2 GHz, ten cores each, and 64 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. A PERC H730P RAID controller and dual 1100 W power supplies are included.
Suits virtualisation hosts
This configuration targets teams running virtualised workloads, local databases or high-availability clusters that benefit from the 16-bay SATA backplane and integrated 10 GbE 562T adapter. Buyers who need more than two processor sockets, GPU compute capability, or a different drive interface will find those features absent.
Sixteen 2.5-inch SATA bays define storage density
The single specification that decides fit is the 16-drive SATA backplane paired with the PERC H730P controller. It sets the maximum number of hot-plug drives and the RAID levels available without adding external enclosures or switching to a different chassis.

Questions about this item
Do I need to supply my own 2.5-inch SATA drives for the sixteen front bays?
Yes, the R740 ships with no drives installed; you must add up to sixteen 2.5-inch SATA drives to populate the 16SFF chassis.
Will my existing PERC H730P RAID controller recognise the new Xeon Silver 4210 CPUs?
The PERC H730P is the factory-installed storage controller and works with the dual 2.2 GHz Xeon Silver 4210 processors without additional hardware.
How can I verify the iDRAC9 Enterprise licence is active after first boot?
Open the iDRAC web interface; the dashboard will show an Enterprise licence status once the server completes POST and the remote management module initialises.
