2U Dual-Socket Rack Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack-mounted server system built for compute-intensive workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Silver 4110 processors, each running at 2.1 GHz with eight cores. The platform includes 64 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory and eight 400 GB SATA solid-state drives managed by a PERC H730P controller. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management complete the package for data-centre deployment.

Tool-Less Rail Install, Drive Caddy Fit

The server includes ready rails for tool-less mounting in standard four-post racks. Drive installation uses Dell 2.5-inch hot-swap caddies that slide into the front eight-bay backplane. A common issue is mixing caddy generations; only the correct R740 tray locks securely and aligns with the SAS/SATA connector. The H730P battery-backed cache module seats in a dedicated internal slot and must be connected before the first RAID initialisation to avoid array degradation.

PCIe Gen3 Lane Budget and 12 Gb/s SAS Ceiling

The Intel C620 chipset provides PCIe 3.0 lanes split between the two CPUs, limiting total expansion bandwidth when multiple high-throughput cards are installed. The PERC H730P operates at 12 Gb/s per SAS/SATA port, so attached SSDs cannot exceed that interface speed. The onboard X520/I350 daughter card delivers two 10 Gb SFP+ and two 1 GbE ports; additional networking requires free PCIe slots and available CPU lanes. Memory capacity tops out at 3 TB across 24 DDR4 slots, constraining very large in-memory datasets.

Questions about this item

How do I confirm the 2x Xeon Silver 4110 CPUs and 64GB DDR4 are detected after first boot?

Enter the BIOS or iDRAC9 Enterprise interface on start-up; both will list each 8-core 2.1GHz processor and show 64GB across the 24 DDR4 slots.

Which items ship inside the chassis and which must be ordered separately?

The 2U server arrives with 2x 750W PSUs, PERC H730P controller, 8x 400GB SATA SSDs, X520/I350 quad-port card, iDRAC9 Enterprise, bezel and rails; extra memory or drives are not included.

Should I choose the 400GB SSD configuration or a larger capacity for the 8-bay 2.5" chassis?

All eight bays are filled with 400GB SATA SSDs; select this version when you need immediate RAID-ready capacity, or choose a different listing if you require higher per-drive capacity.
