2U Rack Server with Dual Silver CPUs
The Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rackmount server system built for dense compute workloads. It ships with two Intel Silver 4210R processors, each delivering ten cores at 2.4 GHz with 13.75 MB cache. The platform includes 32 GB of DDR4 memory arranged as two 16 GB modules running at 2666 MT/s. Four 800 GB SAS SSDs provide fast storage through an H730P RAID controller in an eight-bay 2.5-inch chassis.
Suited for Virtualisation Hosts Not for GPU Clusters
This configuration suits organisations deploying virtualisation clusters, database nodes or internal cloud infrastructure where CPU core count and redundant power matter. The dual 1100 W supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management simplify lights-out operations. Buyers who require GPU acceleration, larger memory footprints or more than eight 2.5-inch drive bays should evaluate alternative models.
Eight-Bay 2.5-Inch Chassis Limits Internal Storage
The single specification that decides fit is the eight-bay 2.5-inch drive cage populated with four 800 GB SAS SSDs. This ceiling fixes maximum internal capacity unless external enclosures are added. The H730P controller manages RAID across these bays while up to eight PCIe Gen 3 slots remain available for network or storage adapters.

Questions about this item
What PCIe generation do the I/O slots use, and what does that limit for add-in cards?
The chassis provides up to 8 PCIe Gen 3 slots, so any add-in card will run at Gen 3 speeds even if the card itself supports a newer generation.
What rack mounting hardware is included with the server?
Sliding rails are included and are designed for the Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 2U chassis.
How is the iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management connected, and what step is often missed?
Connect a dedicated Ethernet cable to the iDRAC port on the rear panel, then configure a static IP address in the iDRAC setup before the OS loads.
