2U rack server with Silver 4210

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built around a single Intel Silver 4210 processor with ten cores. It ships with 128 GB of DDR4 memory and two 2 TB 7.2K SAS drives managed by an H740P RAID controller. The platform suits small-to-mid-size workloads such as virtualisation hosts, database nodes or file servers that need dense compute in a standard rack footprint.

Upgrade from single-socket entry servers

Moving to this R740 makes sense when a single-socket tower or 1U box runs out of memory slots or drive bays. The eight 2.5-inch bays and twelve DIMM positions give headroom to grow storage and RAM without changing chassis. The jump is worth it when workloads need more concurrent threads than a basic four- or six-core CPU can sustain.

128 GB DDR4 and eight drive bays

The installed 128 GB of DDR4-2666 handles moderate virtualisation clusters and in-memory databases comfortably. Two 2 TB 7.2K SAS drives provide a mirrored starting point for OS and applications, while the H740P controller supports additional SAS or SSD drives to scale capacity. Memory and storage headroom ends when all twelve DIMM slots and eight drive bays are populated.

Questions about this item

What rack height and drive bay count does the 2U PowerEdge R740 chassis provide?

The chassis is a 2U rack unit with eight 2.5-inch drive bays for SAS drives.

Which rails and controllers must be seated during installation of the H740P RAID card and iDRAC9 Enterprise module?

Slide the server on the included rails, then fully seat the H740P controller in its dedicated slot and connect the iDRAC9 Enterprise port before powering on.

When should the 1100W redundant power supplies and 7.2K SAS drives be checked or replaced?

Monitor the 1100W redundant PSUs via iDRAC9 alerts and plan drive replacement when SMART data on the 7.2K SAS disks shows reallocated sectors.
