PowerEdge R740 2U rack server

The PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built for demanding workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Silver 4116 processors, each running at 2.1GHz with 12 cores. The system includes 768GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots. It targets organisations that need dense compute and storage in a standard rack footprint.

Storage and networking interfaces

The PERC H730P controller supports SATA and SAS drives with RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Eight 2.5-inch drive trays are populated with caddies but contain no drives. Network connectivity uses a quad-port daughter card providing two 1GbE ports and two 10Gb SFP+ ports. Maximum memory capacity reaches 3TB when all 24 slots are filled.

Dual Xeon Silver 4116 configuration

This unit is fixed at the maximum of two processors; no further CPU upgrades are possible. Buyers who need higher core counts or newer instruction sets must choose a different platform. The LGA 3647 socket and Intel C620 chipset define the upgrade boundary. The 750W redundant power supplies support the installed configuration.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 768GB configuration or plan for the full 3TB maximum?

The system ships with 768GB across 24 slots using 32GB DDR4 modules; reaching 3TB would require replacing all modules with higher-capacity DDR4 DIMMs.

What does the 2.1GHz base and 3.0GHz turbo mean for actual workloads?

Each of the two Xeon Silver 4116 processors runs at 2.1GHz base and can boost to 3.0GHz, giving 24 total cores that scale frequency based on thermal headroom and thread count.

How does the PERC H730P controller limit drive performance?

The H730P provides 12Gb/s SAS/SATA connectivity with 2GB cache, supporting RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60; drive throughput is capped by the 12Gb/s link and the installed SATA/SAS media.
