Dual-Socket 2U Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built around two Intel Xeon Silver 4116 processors, each running at 2.1 GHz with 12 cores. It ships with 64 GB of DDR4 ECC memory across 24 slots and includes a PERC H730P RAID controller managing eight 600 GB 10K SAS drives in a 2.5-inch bay layout. Redundant 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management come standard.

Virtualisation Hosts and Database Nodes

This configuration suits organisations consolidating virtual machines, running memory-intensive databases or hosting applications that benefit from 24 total cores and hardware RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Buyers who need more than two processors, higher core counts per socket, or direct-attached GPU acceleration will not find those capabilities in this chassis. Environments requiring only a single CPU or lower memory ceilings can choose a smaller platform.

24-Core Total Across Two Sockets

The decisive specification is the pair of 12-core Xeon Silver 4116 CPUs delivering 24 threads at 2.1 GHz base with 3.0 GHz turbo. This core count and clock profile determine whether the server matches the throughput requirements of the target workload.

Questions about this item

How does having two 12-core Xeon Silver 4116 CPUs at 2.1 GHz affect real-world throughput?

The dual 12-core processors deliver 24 total cores running at 2.1 GHz base with 3.0 GHz turbo, suited for multi-threaded workloads such as virtualization or database tasks.

What does the H730P controller's 12 Gb/s SAS interface limit in practice?

The PERC H730P supports 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA drives with RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through, capping drive throughput at the controller's 12 Gb/s lane speed.

What physical space and mounting hardware does the 2U chassis require?

The server is a 2U rackmount unit that ships with ready rails and a front bezel for installation in a standard rack cabinet.
