Rack Server Configuration
The Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built for dense compute and storage workloads. Dual Intel Silver 4210 processors provide 10 cores each, while 128GB of DDR4 memory supports virtualisation and database tasks. The H740P RAID controller manages four 2TB 7.2K NL SAS drives in an 8-bay 2.5-inch chassis.
Suitability and Limits
This server suits teams running mixed enterprise applications that need balanced core count and internal capacity. Buyers who require higher drive speeds, larger raw capacity per bay or more PCIe expansion than eight Gen 3 slots provide should evaluate other platforms. The fixed 2U form factor also limits deployment to standard rack environments.
Deciding Specification
The installed H740P RAID controller determines which drive types and RAID levels are supported. If the workload demands a different controller feature set, drive protocol or cache configuration, the server will not meet the requirement without a hardware change.

Questions about this item
What comes with the PowerEdge R740 and what must be purchased separately?
The server includes the 2U chassis, two Silver 4210 10-core processors, 128 GB DDR4 in eight 16 GB modules, four 2 TB 7.2K SAS drives, the H740P RAID controller, iDRAC9 Enterprise, bezel, rails and power cords. Additional 2.5" drives or PCIe cards are not included.
How do I choose between the Silver 4210 and Gold 6126 CPU options for this R740?
The Silver 4210 runs at 2.6 GHz with 10 cores per socket. The Gold 6126 also runs at 2.6 GHz but provides 12 cores per socket and 19.25 MB cache. Select the Gold 6126 if your workloads need the extra two cores per processor.
What does the 128 GB DDR4-2666 memory figure mean for actual performance in this R740?
Eight 16 GB DDR4-2666 modules populate eight slots, running at 2666 MT/s in a balanced dual-socket configuration. This delivers full memory bandwidth to both Silver 4210 CPUs for virtualisation, database or compute tasks.
