Dual 10-core 2.4GHz Silver 4210R server
The Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Silver 4210R processors, each delivering ten cores at 2.4GHz with 13.75M cache. It ships with 256GB of DDR4 memory arranged as sixteen 16GB PC4-2666 modules. Four 120GB SATA RI SSDs and an H730P RAID controller provide the initial storage foundation.
Suits virtualisation hosts needing many cores
This configuration fits workloads that benefit from twenty total cores and a large memory footprint, such as virtualisation clusters or database nodes. The eight 2.5-inch drive bays allow further expansion, while up to eight PCIe Gen 3 slots support additional network or accelerator cards. Buyers who require more than four drives from the outset or need optical media support should consider other platforms.
Eight 2.5-inch bays define storage ceiling
The chassis provides eight 2.5-inch drive bays, of which four are populated with 120GB SATA SSDs. The H730P controller manages RAID across these bays, so the remaining four empty slots set the practical limit for internal capacity growth without external enclosures.

Questions about this item
How do I verify the iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management is responding after initial setup?
Connect to the iDRAC9 Enterprise IP address in a browser; the login screen and system inventory should display both Silver 4210R processors, 256GB DDR4 memory, and the four 120GB SATA SSDs behind the H730P controller.
Which components are included in the shipment and which must be sourced separately?
The shipment includes the R740 2U chassis with 8x 2.5" bays, 2x Silver 4210R CPUs, 16x 16GB DDR4 modules, 4x 120GB SATA RI SSDs, H730P RAID controller, Intel X550 dual 10Gb and dual 1Gb RJ45 NDC, 1100W redundant PSUs, bezel, rails, and power cords; no optical drive is present and additional drives or PCIe cards are not included.
Which drive-bay configuration matches the 4x 120GB SATA SSD installation?
The server uses the 8x 2.5" drive-bay chassis; four bays are populated with the 120GB SATA RI SSDs and four bays remain free for future expansion.
