Dell PowerEdge R740 2U server

This Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Silver 4210R processors. Each CPU provides 10 cores at 2.4GHz with 13.75M cache. The system ships with 256GB of DDR4 memory installed across 16 DIMM slots and includes a PERC H730P RAID controller.

Suits virtualisation hosts needing dense memory

The 256GB DDR4 capacity and dual 800GB SAS SSDs on the H730P controller support memory-intensive workloads and low-latency storage. Organisations requiring GPU acceleration or more than eight PCIe Gen 3 slots should consider alternative platforms.

Eight 2.5-inch drive bays with two populated

The chassis provides eight 2.5-inch drive bays; two are occupied by the included 800GB SAS SSDs. The remaining bays allow storage expansion within the limits of the H730P controller and the 2U form factor.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 2x 800GB SAS SSDs into the 8x 2.5" drive bays, and what step is often missed?

Slide each SAS SSD into an empty 2.5" bay until the carrier clicks, then configure the H730P RAID controller to create a virtual disk before the OS sees the storage.

What maintenance will the 1100W redundant power supply and system fans need later?

Check the iDRAC9 Enterprise logs for fan speed warnings and power supply health alerts; replace a PSU module hot-swap if a fault LED shows amber.

What thermal limit appears first when both Silver 4210R 10C CPUs run sustained 2.4GHz loads?

The 2U chassis airflow hits its cooling ceiling before the CPU TDP limit, so fan speeds ramp to maximum and iDRAC9 logs inlet temperature events.
