Dual-socket Xeon Silver 4110 platform

The PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server fitted with two Intel Xeon Silver 4110 processors, each running at 2.1 GHz with eight cores. It ships with 512 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 16 DIMM slots. The system targets virtualisation hosts, database nodes and compute clusters that need balanced core count and memory capacity in a standard rack footprint.

Tool-less rails and hot-swap bays

Installation uses the included ReadyRails for square or round-hole racks; no tools are required to secure the chassis. Eight 2.5-inch hot-swap drive bays connect to the PERC H730P controller, which supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. The controller battery backs cache during power loss. Common issues arise when mixing SAS and SATA drives without verifying backplane cabling or when the iDRAC9 Enterprise licence is not activated before deployment.

512 GB DDR4 with 3 TB ceiling

The 512 GB installed (16 × 32 GB modules) leaves eight empty DIMM slots for expansion up to the 3 TB maximum supported by the C620 chipset. Two 300 GB 10 K SAS drives provide fast boot and scratch space but fill only a fraction of the eight-bay capacity. Workloads that outgrow the internal bays — such as large object stores or multi-terabyte databases — will require external JBODs or a shift to a storage-dense chassis.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the H730P controller is managing the two 300GB SAS drives correctly after setup?

Open the PERC H730P BIOS utility or iDRAC9 Enterprise storage view; both drives should appear as 300GB SAS 12Gb/s devices in a healthy RAID array with the 2GB cache battery showing charged.

What ships with the server and what must I purchase separately?

Included: 2× Xeon Silver 4110 2.1GHz 8-core CPUs, 512GB DDR4 (16× 32GB 2400MHz ECC RDIMMs), H730P 2GB controller, 2× 300GB 10K SAS 2.5" drives, X520/I350 quad-port NIC (2× 1GbE + 2× 10Gb SFP+), iDRAC9 Enterprise, 2× 750W Platinum PSUs, rails, bezel. Drives beyond the two bays and any GPU/accelerator cards are not included.

Which memory configuration matches the listed 512GB capacity?

The system arrives with 16× 32GB DDR4 2400MHz registered ECC modules filling 16 of the 24 slots; this is the only 512GB configuration supplied.
