2U rack server with dual Silver 4210R
This Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 ships new as a 2U rack server with two Intel Silver 4210R processors at 2.4GHz, each delivering 10 cores. It includes 64GB of DDR4 memory in four 16GB modules running at 2666 MT/s. The H730P RAID controller manages four 300GB 10K SAS drives installed in the 8-bay 2.5-inch chassis. Dual 1100W redundant power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management are fitted.
Suits virtualisation hosts needing PCIe Gen 3
The eight PCIe Gen 3 slots and 10GbE plus 1GbE networking make this system a fit for hypervisor clusters, database nodes or application servers that need add-in cards. Buyers who need more than 64GB of memory, more than four 300GB drives, or a GPU-capable chassis should evaluate alternative platforms.
H730P RAID controller with four 300GB SAS drives
The single specification that decides fit is the H730P controller paired with four 300GB 10K SAS drives. This combination fixes the storage protocol, drive count and performance envelope, so confirm that your workload and capacity planning match this exact RAID and drive configuration before purchasing.

Questions about this item
How do I install the H730P RAID controller and what step is often missed?
The H730P slots into a dedicated PCIe Gen 3 bay; the step often missed is connecting the SAS cables from the backplane to the controller before closing the chassis.
What maintenance will the 4x 300GB 10K SAS drives need later?
The 300GB 10K SAS drives may need replacement after several years of continuous operation; monitor SMART data via iDRAC9 Enterprise for early warning.
What limit appears first on the Silver 4210R CPUs under sustained load?
The 2.4GHz base clock on the 10-core Silver 4210R processors is the first limit reached during sustained heavy workloads.
