Dual-Socket Silver 4210R Rack Server
This 2U Dell PowerEdge R740 delivers twenty cores at 2.4 GHz with 32 GB of DDR4 memory. Eight 800 GB SAS SSDs sit behind an H730P RAID controller and dual 1100 W supplies keep the platform running. iDRAC9 Enterprise provides full remote management from deployment to retirement.
Expansion-Ready 2U Platform
Eight PCIe Gen 3 slots and an Intel X550 adapter with two 10 Gb and two 1 Gb RJ45 ports give ample room for additional networking or acceleration cards. The eight-bay 2.5" chassis is fully populated, so buyers needing more internal drives must look at external storage arrays or a larger chassis. No optical drive is fitted.
Eight-Bay 2.5" Drive Limit
The R740 chassis accepts a maximum of eight 2.5-inch drives and all bays are occupied by the installed 800 GB SAS SSDs. Any workload that requires more internal spindles or solid-state devices will need a different server platform or attached enclosure.
