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 2.4GHz. Each CPU provides 10 cores and 13.75M cache for multi-threaded workloads. The system ships with 32GB of DDR4 memory in a 2x 16GB configuration. It targets organisations needing dense compute in a standard rack footprint.
H730P RAID Controller and iDRAC9 Enterprise
The integrated H730P controller manages the two installed 120GB SATA RI SSDs and supports up to eight 2.5-inch drive bays for expansion. iDRAC9 Enterprise provides full remote management with virtual console and lifecycle automation. Network connectivity uses an Intel X550 adapter delivering two 10Gb RJ45 and two 1Gb RJ45 ports. Redundant 1100W power supplies, rails, bezel and power cords are included.
Eight PCIe Gen 3 Slots and Export Restriction
The chassis offers up to eight PCIe Gen 3 slots for additional controllers or accelerators. Verify that your rack provides 2U space and compatible power distribution for the redundant supplies. The supplier notes the unit is not eligible for export, so confirm regional compliance before ordering. No optical drive is fitted.

Questions about this item
When will the 120GB SATA SSD or the H730P RAID controller need replacement?
The 120GB SATA RI SSDs are read-intensive drives; plan to replace them once their write endurance is reached. The H730P controller has a replaceable cache battery that typically lasts several years before needing service.
What limit appears first during sustained load on the two Silver 4210R 10C CPUs?
The 1100W redundant power supplies set the thermal and electrical ceiling; prolonged full-core utilisation at 2.4GHz will hit the PSU or cooling capacity before the CPUs throttle.
How much heat and power does the R740 generate when running all day with both 10C processors active?
Dual Silver 4210R CPUs plus 32GB DDR4 and the H730P draw significant power from the 1100W redundant PSUs, producing heat that the 2U chassis fans must exhaust continuously.
