Dual-socket 2U rack server for compute density

The PowerEdge R740 fits two Xeon Silver 4116 processors in a 2U chassis, delivering 24 cores at 2.1 GHz with 3.0 GHz turbo. It targets workloads that need high core counts and accelerator-card space without a full-height rack footprint. Buyers who need more than two sockets or a tower form factor should look elsewhere.

Tool-less rail installation

Ready Rails slide into standard square-hole racks without screws, and the front bezel snaps on after the server is seated. The only common snag is routing the quad-port X520/I350 daughter-card cables so they do not bind the sliding rails; allow extra slack at the rear. Hot-swap power supplies and drive carriers require no tools once the unit is racked.

24 DDR4 slots decide maximum memory capacity

The system ships with 128 GB across eight 16 GB registered ECC modules running at 2400 MHz, leaving 16 slots open for expansion up to 3 TB total. If your application demands more than 3 TB of RAM, this platform cannot meet it.

Questions about this item

How do I confirm the PERC H730P controller sees both 800 GB SSDs and that the RAID array is healthy after installation?

Open the controller BIOS during boot or log into iDRAC9 Enterprise; both interfaces show each 800 GB SATA SSD, the RAID level (0/1/5/6/10/50/60) and battery-backed cache status.

Which components ship with the server and which must be purchased separately?

The chassis includes 2 Xeon Silver 4116 CPUs, 128 GB DDR4 (8 × 16 GB), PERC H730P with 2 GB cache, 2 × 800 GB SATA SSDs, X520/I350 quad-port NIC (2 × 1 GbE, 2 × 10 GbE SFP+), iDRAC9 Enterprise, 2 × 750 W PSUs, rails and bezel. Empty drive bays and 16 free DIMM slots are ready for extra drives or memory.

Should I choose the 128 GB configuration or plan to populate the remaining slots up to the 3 TB maximum?

The system arrives with 8 × 16 GB DDR4 registered ECC modules filling 8 of 24 slots. If your workload fits in 128 GB, no further purchase is needed; otherwise add identical DDR4 modules in matched sets until the 3 TB limit.
