Purpose-built 2U server
The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Silver 4210R processors, each providing ten cores at 2.4GHz. It ships with 64GB of DDR4 memory in four 16GB modules and two 800GB SAS SSDs managed by an H730P RAID controller. The platform targets virtualisation hosts, database nodes and general-purpose compute clusters that need dense 2.5-inch drive capacity.
Installation notes
The chassis includes sliding rails and redundant 1100W power supplies, so rack mounting follows standard 2U procedures. iDRAC9 Enterprise is pre-licensed, allowing full remote console and firmware management before the operating system loads. Common issues arise when the SAS backplane cabling is not fully seated or when the PCIe Gen 3 riser cards are mismatched to the installed CPU configuration.
Pre-order checks
Verify that your rack provides sufficient depth for the R740 chassis and that the facility power can support dual 1100W supplies on the available circuits. Confirm the network infrastructure can terminate the Intel X550 dual 10Gb RJ45 and dual 1Gb RJ45 ports. Ensure the planned workload fits within the eight 2.5-inch drive bays and the installed 64GB DDR4 memory ceiling.

Questions about this item
How do I verify the server is working correctly after setup?
Log into iDRAC9 Enterprise and confirm both Silver 4210R 10C processors, 64GB DDR4 memory, and the H730P controller with 2x 800GB SAS SSDs are detected without errors.
What ships with the unit and what must I purchase separately?
The chassis includes 2x Silver 4210R CPUs, 4x 16GB DDR4 modules, 2x 800GB SAS SSDs, H730P RAID controller, Intel X550 NDC, 1100W redundant PSUs, bezel, rails, and power cords. Additional drive caddies or PCIe cards are not included.
Which configuration suits a virtualisation host needing more memory headroom?
This model ships with 64GB across four DIMM slots; if your workloads require more capacity, select a variant populated with higher-density DDR4 modules or additional memory kits.
