Dell PowerEdge R740 2U Server

This Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built for virtualisation and database workloads. It ships with dual Intel Silver 4210R processors, each providing ten cores at 2.4 GHz, and 128 GB of DDR4 memory. The chassis holds eight 2.5-inch drive bays populated with 2.4 TB 10K SAS drives behind an H730P RAID controller. Redundant 1100 W power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management complete the package.

Who this suits and who should look elsewhere

IT teams needing dense compute with hardware RAID and out-of-band management will find the specifications match typical hypervisor hosts. Buyers who require more than eight drive bays or PCIe Gen 4 slot speeds cannot be accommodated by this platform. Workloads demanding higher core counts per socket or faster memory than 2666 MT/s should evaluate alternative configurations.

The specification that decides fit

The eight-bay 2.5-inch chassis with H730P controller defines the storage ceiling; all eight bays are filled with 2.4 TB SAS drives, leaving no room for internal expansion without removing existing disks.

Questions about this item

Will the 2.5-inch drive bays accept the SAS drives I already own?

The chassis provides eight 2.5-inch bays; the installed drives are 2.4 TB 10K SAS units, so any 2.5-inch SAS drive with a compatible connector will fit.

How can I verify the dual Silver 4210R processors are recognised after installation?

Check the iDRAC9 Enterprise inventory or the BIOS POST screen — both should list two 10-core CPUs at 2.4 GHz with 13.75 MB cache each.

Do the included rails and power cords support a standard 1100 W redundant supply setup?

Yes, the bezel, sliding rails and two power cords are in the box; the 1100 W redundant PSUs are already installed, so no extra parts are needed for basic operation.
