Purpose-built 2U rack platform

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon Silver 4110 8-core processors running at 2.1 GHz and 256 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory. It includes a PERC H730P RAID controller with 2 GB cache, dual 300 GB 10K SAS drives, quad-port networking with two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports, iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management, redundant 750 W platinum power supplies, rails and a front bezel. The system targets organisations that need dense compute and storage in a standard 2U form factor.

Fit and alternatives

This server suits workloads that benefit from dual-socket Xeon Scalable performance, large DDR4 capacity and hardware RAID across SAS or SATA drives. Buyers who require more than two processors or need drive interfaces beyond SAS and SATA should evaluate other platforms. The 24 DIMM slots support up to 3 TB of memory for memory-intensive applications.

Deciding specification

The installed 256 GB of DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC memory across eight 32 GB modules determines whether the system meets immediate capacity needs or requires additional DIMMs to reach the 3 TB maximum.
