Dual Xeon Silver 4110 2U server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon Silver 4110 processors running at 2.10 GHz with eight cores each. It ships with 256 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across eight 32 GB modules. The system includes a PERC H730P storage controller and eight 400 GB SATA solid-state drives. It is built for virtualisation, database and compute workloads that need dual-socket density in a compact rack form factor.

Redundant 750 W platinum power supplies

Dual hot-swap 750 watt platinum-efficiency power supplies deliver redundant power with headroom for the installed components. The 2U chassis uses Dell’s engineered airflow path to move air across the processors, memory and drive bays. Acoustic profiles are tuned for data-centre deployment rather than office proximity. Power draw scales with CPU utilisation and drive activity under normal mixed workloads.

Sustained load on dual 8-core CPUs

Under continuous heavy utilisation both Xeon Silver 4110 processors can maintain elevated frequencies up to the 3.0 GHz turbo level within the platform thermal envelope. The PERC H730P controller with its 2 GB cache sustains RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 operations across the eight SATA SSDs. iDRAC 9 Enterprise provides remote monitoring and management throughout extended compute runs. The quad-port network daughter card offers two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links for steady data throughput.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 8 × 400 GB SATA SSDs into the 2.5" bays, and which step do people miss?

Slide each drive into a front bay until the carrier clicks; the step often missed is confirming the PERC H730P sees all eight drives in its BIOS before creating any RAID volume.

What maintenance or replacement will the PERC H730P's 2 GB cache battery need later?

The onboard battery backs the controller cache; plan to replace it every 3–5 years or when iDRAC 9 Enterprise reports a battery-learn cycle failure.

What limit appears first when both Xeon Silver 4110 processors run at 3.0 GHz turbo under sustained load?

The 750 W redundant power supplies set the ceiling; continuous all-core turbo can push total draw to the supply limit before thermal throttling activates.
