2U Rack Server with Dual Xeon Silver 4116

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rackmount server system built for compute-intensive workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Silver 4116 processors, each running at 2.1 GHz with 12 cores and a 3.0 GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 64 GB of DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC memory across four 16 GB modules. Eight 400 GB SATA SSDs are installed and managed by a PERC H730P 2 GB controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through.

Suited for dual-socket density

This platform fits environments that need two processors in a 2U form factor with up to 24 DIMM slots for future memory expansion to 3 TB. The eight 2.5-inch drive bays are fully populated with SATA SSDs, and the X520/I350 daughter card provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports. iDRAC 9 Enterprise and redundant 750 W platinum power supplies are included. Buyers who need more than two processors, a different drive interface than SATA or SAS, or a tower chassis should evaluate other platforms.

PERC H730P RAID controller with 2 GB cache

The storage controller is a Dell PERC H730P with 2 GB of battery-backed cache and 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA connectivity. It handles the eight installed 400 GB SATA SSDs and supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 plus pass-through mode. This controller determines the RAID capabilities and drive compatibility for the system.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 2-processor configuration with 12-core CPUs and 64 GB of DDR4, or look for a single-processor model?

This unit ships with two Xeon Silver 4116 processors, each 12 cores at 2.1 GHz, and 64 GB of DDR4 2400 MHz ECC across four 16 GB modules. The board supports a maximum of two processors and 3 TB of memory across 24 slots, so this build already uses the full processor capacity and leaves 20 slots open for future expansion.

What does the 2.1 GHz base clock with 3.0 GHz turbo mean for real workloads?

Each of the 24 total cores runs at 2.1 GHz base and can boost to 3.0 GHz when thermal headroom allows, giving strong single-thread response for database or virtualization tasks while maintaining high multi-thread throughput across both sockets.

How does the PERC H730P controller and SATA interface affect the eight 400 GB SSDs?

The H730P provides 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA connectivity with 2 GB cache and battery-backed write cache, enabling RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. The eight 400 GB SATA SSDs connect through this controller, so the SATA 6 Gb/s link sets the practical throughput ceiling for each drive.
