2U rack server with dual Silver 4210R
The Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Silver 4210R processors. Each CPU provides 10 cores at 2.4GHz with 13.75M cache. The system includes 256GB of DDR4 memory across 16 modules and eight 7.68TB SAS SSDs managed by an H730P RAID controller. Remote management is handled by iDRAC9 Enterprise.
Fits virtualisation hosts needing dense flash.
This configuration suits organisations consolidating virtual machines or databases on all-flash storage within a 2U footprint. Dual 10Gb and 1Gb Ethernet ports are integrated on the motherboard. Buyers who need GPU acceleration, additional drive bays beyond eight 2.5-inch slots, or an internal optical drive should look elsewhere.
Eight 7.68TB SAS SSDs on H730P
The storage subsystem delivers eight 7.68TB SAS solid-state drives connected to the H730P RAID controller. This single specification determines whether the server meets capacity and performance requirements for the intended workload.
