Rack server for compute-intensive workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built around two Intel Xeon Silver 4110 processors, each running at 2.1 GHz with eight cores. It ships with 128 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots and a PERC H730P storage controller with 2 GB cache. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management are included.

Suited for virtualisation and database tasks

This configuration fits environments that need balanced CPU cores, large memory capacity and hardware RAID across SATA or SAS drives. The four-port network daughter card provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections for flexible fabric integration. Buyers who require GPU acceleration, more than two processor sockets or storage interfaces beyond SATA and SAS should evaluate alternative platforms.

Dual Xeon Silver 4110 processors at 2.1 GHz

The pair of eight-core Xeon Silver 4110 CPUs delivers 16 total cores with a 3.0 GHz turbo frequency, setting the performance ceiling for the system. This processor choice determines the socket type, memory channel count and maximum supported memory of 3 TB. All other specifications scale from this dual-socket foundation.

Questions about this item

How do I replace a failed 800GB SATA SSD in the 2.5-inch drive bays?

The server has eight hot-swap 2.5-inch bays; slide the release latch on the carrier, pull the failed SATA SSD out, insert a replacement SATA SSD of the same form factor, and the PERC H730P controller will begin rebuilding the RAID array automatically.

What thermal limit appears first when both Xeon Silver 4110 CPUs run at 3.0 GHz turbo continuously?

The 2U chassis relies on redundant 750-watt platinum power supplies and internal fans; sustained turbo on all 16 cores raises inlet temperature until the firmware throttles CPU frequency to keep components within their thermal envelope.

How loud are the fans when the system idles at 128 GB DDR4 and dual 750 W PSUs?

Idle fan speed is governed by iDRAC 9 thermal policies; with 24 DIMM slots populated and redundant platinum supplies, the fans typically settle at a low acoustic level suitable for a rack aisle, ramping only when CPU or memory temperatures climb.
