Dual-socket Xeon server for compute-intensive

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rackmount server equipped with two Intel Xeon Silver 4110 processors, each running at 2.1 GHz with eight cores. It ships with 256 GB of DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC memory across eight 32 GB modules. The platform targets virtualisation, database and high-performance computing tasks that benefit from dual-socket scaling.

Fits a standard rack and scales storage

The chassis occupies 2U of rack space and includes ready rails plus a front bezel for quick installation. Eight 2.5-inch drive bays are populated with 300 GB 10 K SAS drives connected to a PERC H730P controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through. A quad-port network daughter card adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links, while iDRAC 9 Enterprise provides dedicated remote management. Twenty-four DIMM slots allow memory expansion up to 3 TB.

Redundant platinum power supplies manage thermals

Dual hot-swap 750 W platinum-efficiency power supplies deliver redundancy and high conversion efficiency under load. The 2U form factor directs airflow front-to-rear across the CPUs, memory and drive cage, keeping component temperatures stable during sustained operation. Fan speeds adjust dynamically to workload, balancing cooling performance with acoustic output in typical data-centre environments.

Questions about this item

What is the maximum memory capacity the R740 can scale to beyond the installed 256GB DDR4?

The system supports up to 3TB of DDR4 across 24 memory slots using registered ECC modules.

How much heat and power draw should I expect from the dual Xeon Silver 4110 CPUs and redundant 750W PSUs under continuous load?

Two 8-core Xeon Silver 4110 processors at 2.1GHz with 3.0GHz turbo share the load while dual 750W platinum power supplies provide redundancy and efficient delivery.

Which storage controller and drive interfaces are required to use the eight installed 300GB SAS drives?

The Dell PERC H730P 2GB controller manages the 12Gb/s SAS drives with RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through modes.
