Dual Silver 4210R compute density

The Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 packs two Intel Silver 4210R processors, each with 10 cores at 2.4 GHz, into a 2U rack chassis. This configuration targets virtualisation hosts, database nodes and mid-range enterprise workloads that need balanced core count and memory bandwidth.

256 GB DDR4 and 2.4 TB SAS headroom

Sixteen 16 GB DDR4 modules deliver 256 GB of system memory, leaving room for dense VM consolidation or in-memory databases. Two 1.2 TB 10K SAS drives on the H730P controller provide fast redundant storage, while six empty 2.5-inch bays allow capacity to grow without adding enclosures.

PCIe Gen 3 and 10 GbE I/O limits

Up to eight PCIe Gen 3 slots support GPU accelerators, additional NICs or storage HBAs, but the bus tops out at Gen 3 speeds. The integrated Intel X550 adapter supplies two 10 GbE RJ45 ports and two 1 GbE ports, capping native network throughput at 10 Gbps per port without add-in cards.

Questions about this item

Will the 2.4 GHz Silver 4210R CPUs work with my existing PC4-2666 DDR4 modules?

The server already contains 16x 16GB PC4-2666 DDR4 sticks filling 256GB; the Silver 4210R processors support that speed natively, so compatible modules you keep will run at 2666 MT/s.

How do I verify the H730P controller sees both 1.2TB SAS drives after first boot?

Open the H730P BIOS utility (Ctrl+R) or check iDRAC9 Enterprise storage view — both 1.2TB 10K SAS disks should appear in a healthy RAID volume.

Which items ship with the R740 and which must I source separately?

The box includes the 2U chassis with bezel, rails, two 1100W redundant PSUs, 2x Silver 4210R CPUs, 256GB DDR4, 2x 1.2TB SAS drives, H730P controller, Intel X550 NDC and power cords; extra drive caddies or PCIe cards are not included.
