Dual Silver 4210R 10-core server for virtualisation
The PowerEdge R740 fits in a 2U rack space and runs two Intel Silver 4210R processors at 2.4 GHz with 10 cores each. 128 GB of DDR4 memory is installed across eight 16 GB modules running at 2666 MT/s. The system targets businesses that need dense compute for virtualisation, databases or internal cloud workloads.
H730P RAID controller with eight 960 GB SAS SSDs
The H730P hardware RAID card manages the eight 960 GB SAS solid-state drives, providing hardware-accelerated redundancy and cache-backed write performance. iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management is included for out-of-band monitoring, power control and virtual console access. Redundant 1100 W power supplies, rails, bezel and power cords ship with the chassis.
PCIe Gen 3 expansion limited to eight slots
Up to eight PCIe Gen 3 slots are available for additional network, storage or accelerator cards. The embedded Intel X550 network daughter card already provides two 10 Gb RJ45 and two 1 Gb RJ45 ports. No optical drive bay is present, and the 2.5 in drive cage is fully populated with the eight SSDs, leaving no internal bays for further storage.

Questions about this item
When will the 128 GB DDR4 memory need replacement?
The 8x 16 GB DDR4 modules are solid-state and have no scheduled replacement interval; they remain in service unless a module fails.
What limits sustained throughput on the 8x 960 GB SAS SSDs?
The H730P controller and SAS interface set the ceiling for continuous write and read rates on the eight 960 GB drives.
How much heat and noise do the dual 1100 W supplies generate under all-day load?
Redundant 1100 W supplies share the load; fan speed ramps with total power draw, so heat and noise rise as the CPUs and eight SSDs sustain demand.
