Dual Xeon Silver 4116 2U server

The PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon Silver 4116 processors running at 2.1 GHz with 12 cores each. It ships with 64 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across four 16 GB modules. The system targets virtualisation hosts, database workloads and compute clusters that need dense two-socket performance in a standard rack footprint.

Sustained load behaviour

Twelve cores per socket at 2.1 GHz base frequency with 3.0 GHz turbo provide consistent throughput for multi-threaded applications. The PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache and battery backup maintains write performance during extended I/O streams across the eight 2.4 TB 10 K SAS drives. Redundant 750 W platinum power supplies keep the platform running without interruption during maintenance or a single supply failure.

Build, connectivity and daily operation

Eight 2.5-inch drive bays and the H730P support RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode for software-defined storage. The Intel X520/I350 daughter card adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports for flexible network segmentation. iDRAC 9 Enterprise enables full remote power, console and firmware management without physical access, while included ready rails and a front bezel simplify rack installation and cable routing.

Questions about this item

How loud and hot does the R740 get when both Xeon Silver 4116 processors run at 2.1 GHz all day?

The server uses redundant 750 W Platinum power supplies and hot-swap fan modules to manage heat from the two 12-core CPUs.

Which caddies and cables must I already have to install the eight 2.4 TB SAS drives?

The 2.5-inch drive bays accept standard Dell SAS caddies; the PERC H730P controller provides the internal SAS connectors for the eight installed drives.

Will my existing DDR4 2400 MHz Registered ECC modules work alongside the four 16 GB sticks already installed?

Yes, the system has 24 DDR4 slots and supports up to 3 TB, so additional Registered ECC modules at the same speed can be added.
