Dual-socket Silver 4210R server for mid-range
The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built around two Intel Silver 4210R processors, each with 10 cores at 2.4 GHz. It ships with 64 GB of DDR4 memory across four 16 GB modules running at 2666 MT/s. The platform targets virtualisation hosts, database nodes and general-purpose compute clusters that need balanced core count and memory bandwidth.
64 GB DDR4 and dual 960 GB SAS SSDs on H730P
The installed 64 GB DDR4 handles moderate VM densities and in-memory databases; workloads that exceed this capacity will require additional DIMMs. Two 960 GB SAS SSDs provide low-latency storage for OS, logs or hot data, while the H730P controller supports RAID levels for redundancy. Eight 2.5-inch drive bays remain available for further SAS or SSD expansion when capacity or IOPS demands grow.
iDRAC9 Enterprise and redundant 1100 W supplies
Integrated iDRAC9 Enterprise enables full out-of-band management, remote console and lifecycle automation without extra licensing. Dual 1100 W redundant power supplies protect against single-unit failure. The bundle also includes sliding rails, a front bezel without LCD and power cords, so the chassis can be racked and powered immediately.

Questions about this item
Can the Silver 4210R processors work with my existing DDR4-2666 memory modules if I add more RAM later?
Yes, the server uses DDR4 PC4-2666 memory, so compatible modules will run at that speed when installed alongside the four 16 GB sticks already fitted.
How do I verify the H730P RAID controller and both 960 GB SAS SSDs are healthy after installation?
During POST the H730P BIOS will list each 960 GB SAS SSD and its RAID status; iDRAC9 Enterprise then shows real-time drive health, controller firmware version and any alerts in its web interface.
Which accessories ship with the R740 and what must I order separately for a fresh deployment?
The box includes the 2U chassis with bezel, sliding rails, and two power cords for the redundant 1100 W PSUs; extra 2.5" drive caddies, additional PCIe cards and operating-system licences are not included.
