Dell PowerEdge R740 2U Rack Server
The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rackmount server system designed for data-centre and enterprise workloads. It ships with a single Intel Silver 4210 processor providing ten cores and 128GB of DDR4 memory. Four 2TB 7.2K NL SAS drives are installed behind an H740P RAID controller. Remote management is handled by iDRAC9 Enterprise.
Suited for single-socket virtualisation
This configuration suits organisations running virtualisation clusters, database instances or file services that fit within one processor and twelve drive bays. The eight 2.5-inch bays allow additional SAS or SSD capacity. Buyers who need dual-processor performance, higher core counts, or more than eight drive bays should evaluate other platforms.
Ten-core Silver 4210 processor
The installed Silver 4210 delivers ten cores at a base frequency of 2.4GHz with 27.5MB cache. This CPU choice fixes the maximum thread count and memory bandwidth for the system. Workloads requiring more than ten cores per socket or a higher base frequency will need a different processor configuration.

Questions about this item
Does the server ship with rails so I can mount it in my existing 2U rack space?
The listing states that rails are included with the chassis, allowing the 2U server to be installed in a standard rack immediately.
Can the H740P controller manage the four 2 TB 7.2K SAS drives alongside older SAS drives I might add later?
The H740P RAID controller supports SAS connectivity, so additional SAS drives can be configured in the same array or separate virtual disks.
How do I confirm the iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management is active after first power-on?
Connect the iDRAC network port, then browse to its IP address; the iDRAC9 Enterprise login screen should appear if the firmware is up to date.
