Dual-socket Xeon server for dense compute

The PowerEdge R740 fits two Intel Xeon Silver 4110 processors, each with eight cores at 2.1 GHz and 3.0 GHz turbo, into a 2U rack chassis. Sixteen 32 GB DDR4 registered ECC modules deliver 512 GB of memory across 24 slots. Eight 2.5-inch 2.4 TB 10K SAS drives connect to a PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache. A quad-port Intel X520/I350 daughter card adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links. iDRAC9 Enterprise provides remote management.

SAS interface and controller define storage limits

The PERC H730P handles 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA traffic with RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through modes. Eight front bays are populated with 2.4 TB 10K drives; no SSD bays are installed. Maximum memory capacity reaches 3 TB when all 24 DDR4 slots are filled. The LGA 3647 sockets support up to two processors, so CPU expansion stops at the current pair. Network throughput is capped by the two 10 Gb SFP+ and two 1 GbE ports on the daughter card.

Redundant power and rails simplify rack deployment

Dual 750 W platinum power supplies share load and allow hot-swap replacement without downtime. Ready Rails and a front bezel ship with the unit for quick cabinet mounting. The 2U height fits standard racks while leaving room for accelerator cards. iDRAC9 Enterprise enables out-of-band control over a dedicated network connection. Hot-swap drive carriers and power modules mean failed components can be swapped while the server stays online.

Questions about this item

How do I decide between the 2.4 TB SAS drives and adding SSDs later?

The eight 2.4 TB 10 K SAS drives deliver high-capacity sequential throughput; the H730P controller also supports SATA SSDs in the same 2.5-inch bays for a later tiered upgrade.

What does the 2.1 GHz base clock mean for sustained workloads?

Each Xeon Silver 4110 runs at 2.1 GHz base and can boost to 3.0 GHz, giving sixteen cores a stable floor for continuous compute with headroom for burst phases.

What does the 12 Gb/s SAS interface limit in practice?

The PERC H730P connects at 12 Gb/s per SAS lane, so the eight 12 Gb/s drives share that bandwidth; the controller caps aggregate array speed at the 12 Gb/s link rate.
