Purpose-built server platform

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server configured with two Intel Xeon Silver 4110 8-core processors running at 2.1 GHz. It ships with 512 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 16 slots and eight 600 GB 10K SAS drives managed by a PERC H730P 2 GB controller. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies, iDRAC9 Enterprise, quad-port networking and rails complete the package for immediate deployment.

Fit and alternatives

This system suits organisations that need dense, dual-socket compute with large memory capacity and hardware RAID for traditional SAS workloads. Buyers who require more than 24 memory slots, additional drive bays beyond the eight 2.5-inch bays, or a different CPU core count should evaluate other platforms. The fixed two-processor maximum also means the server cannot scale beyond the installed 16 cores.

Deciding specification

The installed memory totals 512 GB of DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC across 16 modules, leaving eight slots open for expansion up to the 3 TB platform limit. This single figure determines whether the server can hold the working set for your virtualisation, database or analytics workload without immediate memory upgrades.

Questions about this item

What motherboard chipset is required to support the dual Xeon Silver 4110 processors in this R740?

The server uses the Intel C620 chipset, which is built into the system board and supports both LGA 3647 sockets.

Will the existing PERC H730P controller recognise the 600GB 10K SAS drives already installed?

Yes, the H730P 2GB controller natively supports 12Gb/s SAS drives and manages the eight 600GB disks in RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 or pass-through.

How can I confirm the 512GB DDR4 memory is running at 2400MHz after installation?

Check the iDRAC9 Enterprise inventory or BIOS memory configuration screen; both report each of the sixteen 32GB modules at 2400MHz.
