Dell PowerEdge R740 2U Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rackmount server system built for data-centre workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Silver 4110 processors, each running at 2.1 GHz with eight cores. A total of 512 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory is installed across sixteen 32 GB modules. Eight 800 GB SATA solid-state drives provide the primary storage array.

Dual-socket compute with high memory capacity

This configuration suits organisations that need dual-processor performance and a large DDR4 memory footprint in a compact 2U form factor. The integrated PERC H730P controller supports multiple RAID levels for the eight drive bays. Buyers who require more than the two installed processors or who need a tower chassis should consider a different platform.

512 GB DDR4 installed memory

The system arrives with 512 GB of DDR4 memory already populated in sixteen slots, leaving eight additional slots available for expansion up to the 3 TB maximum. This specification determines whether the server meets immediate capacity requirements or needs further memory investment at deployment.
