Dell PowerEdge R740 2U Server
The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server configured with two Intel Silver 4210R processors, each delivering 10 cores at 2.4 GHz. It includes 64 GB of DDR4 memory and four 960 GB SAS SSDs managed by an H730P RAID controller. Remote management is handled by iDRAC9 Enterprise.
Suits virtualisation hosts needing dense 2.5-inch
This server suits virtualisation hosts needing dense 2.5-inch storage and dual 10 Gb Ethernet ports. Buyers who require more than eight drive bays or an internal optical drive should look elsewhere.
H730P RAID controller with four 960 GB SAS SSDs
The H730P RAID controller manages the four installed 960 GB SAS SSDs and supports the remaining four 2.5-inch bays for expansion. This specification determines whether the storage topology fits the workload.

Questions about this item
What rack height does the PowerEdge R740 need, and are mounting rails included?
The server occupies 2U of rack space and the package includes rails for installation.
How are the Intel Silver 4210R processors installed, and what step is often missed?
Both CPUs are pre-installed on the system board; the common oversight is not updating the iDRAC9 firmware before first boot.
Which components in the R740 will need replacement or maintenance over time?
The 1100W redundant power supplies and the four 960GB SAS SSDs are the primary field-replaceable units that may require service later.
