Rack server with dual Silver processors

The Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Silver 4210 processors, each providing 10 cores. It ships with 32 GB of DDR4 memory installed as two 16 GB modules running at 2666 MT/s. This configuration targets businesses that need a compact, dual-socket platform for virtualisation or database workloads.

Eight-drive SAS array with hardware RAID

The chassis holds eight 2.5-inch drive bays populated with 2.4 TB 10K SAS drives. A PERC H730P RAID controller manages the array, providing hardware RAID levels and cache-backed write performance. The storage controller handles the full drive set without requiring an additional HBA, simplifying deployment for storage-heavy applications.

Redundant power and remote management

Dual 1100 W redundant power supplies keep the system running if one unit fails. The iDRAC9 Enterprise module gives administrators full out-of-band control over power, console and firmware updates. Included rails and bezel allow straightforward rack mounting, while the Intel X550 network daughter card supplies two 10 Gb RJ45 and two 1 Gb RJ45 ports for flexible connectivity.

Questions about this item

How often do the 2TB 7.2K SAS drives need replacement in a RAID array managed by the H740P?

Drive lifespan varies with workload; the H740P controller monitors SMART data and will alert via iDRAC9 Enterprise when a drive shows pre-failure signs, allowing proactive replacement before data loss occurs.

Which component hits its limit first when both Silver 4210 CPUs run at full load continuously?

The 1100W redundant power supplies set the sustained power ceiling; if total system draw approaches their rated output, the PSUs will throttle or shut down to protect themselves before the CPUs reach thermal limits.

What noise and heat levels should I expect from the 2U chassis with dual CPUs and eight drives running all day?

The 2U rack chassis uses multiple high-speed fans to cool two 10-core processors and eight 2.5-inch drives; acoustic output is typical for enterprise rack gear and requires a cooled server room or rack enclosure.
