2U Rack Server With Dual 10-Core CPUs
The Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Silver 4210R processors running at 2.4 GHz, each providing 10 cores and 13.75 MB cache. It ships with 128 GB of DDR4 memory configured as eight 16 GB PC4-2666 modules. The chassis holds up to eight 2.5-inch drive bays and includes an H730P RAID controller managing two 120 GB SATA SSDs.
Suited For Virtualisation Hosts Not For GPU Clusters
This configuration suits organisations deploying virtualisation hosts, database nodes or application servers that benefit from twenty cores and redundant 1100 W power supplies. The iDRAC9 Enterprise module provides full remote management. Buyers needing more than eight internal drive bays or workloads that require double-width GPU accelerators should evaluate larger chassis alternatives.
Eight 2.5-Inch Bays With H730P RAID
The single specification that determines fit is the eight-bay 2.5-inch backplane paired with the H730P controller. It defines how many drives you can install and which RAID levels are supported. Confirm that the bay count and controller match your storage design before purchasing.

Questions about this item
What comes in the box and what do I need to buy separately?
The server ships with 2x Silver 4210R 10-core CPUs, 128GB DDR4 in 8x 16GB modules, 2x 120GB SATA SSDs, H730P RAID controller, iDRAC9 Enterprise, redundant 1100W PSUs, bezel, rails and power cords. No optical drive is fitted. The chassis has 8x 2.5" bays so six bays remain empty for additional drives.
Which configuration should I choose for this R740?
This unit is a fixed build: dual 2.4GHz 10-core Silver 4210R processors, 128GB DDR4-2666 across eight DIMMs, and a pair of 120GB SATA RI SSDs on the H730P controller. No alternative CPU, memory or drive options are offered for this listing.
What does the dual 10-core 2.4GHz specification mean in practice?
Two Silver 4210R CPUs provide 20 cores and 20 threads at 2.4GHz base frequency with 13.75MB cache per processor. The H730P RAID controller manages the installed 120GB SSDs and any extra drives you add. iDRAC9 Enterprise gives full remote KVM and lifecycle management over the dedicated network ports.
