Dual Silver 4210R 2U Server
The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server fitted with two Intel Silver 4210R processors. Each CPU provides ten cores at 2.4 GHz with 13.75 MB cache. The system ships with 512 GB of DDR4 memory arranged as sixteen 32 GB modules running at 2666 MT/s.
Suited for dense virtualisation.
This configuration suits environments that need high core counts and large memory capacity in a compact rack footprint, such as virtualisation hosts or database nodes. Buyers who require GPU acceleration or more than eight PCIe Gen 3 expansion slots should consider alternative platforms.
Eight 2.5-inch drive bays with H730P RAID
The chassis provides eight 2.5-inch bays and currently holds two 300 GB 10K SAS drives managed by an H730P controller. Organisations needing greater internal storage capacity must add drives to the six empty bays or attach external arrays.

Questions about this item
How does the 512GB DDR4 configuration behave in a real workload?
Sixteen 32GB PC4-2666 modules fill every slot, giving 512GB at 2666 MT/s for memory-bound databases or virtualization clusters.
What does the Intel X550 NDC actually deliver on the wire?
Two 10Gb RJ45 ports and two 1Gb RJ45 ports share the network daughter card, capping LAN throughput at 10Gb per SFP+ lane.
Will the 2U chassis accept full-length PCIe cards in all eight slots?
Up to eight PCIe Gen 3 slots are available; full-length cards fit in the standard riser configuration with the included rails.
