Dual Silver 4210 10-core server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built around two Intel Silver 4210 processors, each providing 10 cores. It ships with 256 GB of DDR4 memory installed across 16 modules. The platform targets virtualisation hosts, database nodes and compute clusters that need balanced core density in a standard rack footprint.

H740P RAID and iDRAC9 Enterprise

A PERC H740P controller manages the two 2 TB 7.2K NL SAS drives with hardware RAID and cache protection. The chassis offers eight 2.5-inch drive bays for future expansion. Remote management is handled by iDRAC9 Enterprise, giving full out-of-band control over power, firmware and console access without an operating system.

Upgrades from single-socket or smaller RAID setups

Moving from a single-processor tower or a server limited to entry-level RAID controllers adds the second Silver 4210 and the H740P’s write-back cache. The jump is worthwhile when workloads outgrow one socket’s thread count or when drive-count growth demands a controller that can scale beyond a handful of volumes.

Questions about this item

Which PCIe generation do the I/O slots on the R740 use?

The server provides up to eight PCIe Gen 3 slots for add-in cards such as NICs, HBAs or GPUs.

What rail kit is included with the 2U chassis?

Sliding rails are supplied with the unit and mount in a standard 19-inch rack; the chassis uses eight 2.5-inch drive bays.

How is the H740P RAID controller installed in this system?

The H740P plugs into a dedicated internal storage slot on the motherboard; the step often missed is connecting the SAS cables from the backplane before securing the card.
