Product Identity
The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server equipped with dual Intel Silver 4210R 10-core processors, 64 GB of DDR4 memory and a PERC H730P RAID controller managing four 2.4 TB 10K SAS drives. It targets IT teams deploying virtualisation hosts, database nodes or general-purpose compute in standard rack environments.
Suitability Profile
This configuration fits workloads that benefit from balanced core count and high spindle-speed SAS storage, such as traditional virtual machines or transactional databases. Buyers who need more than 64 GB of memory, higher core density per socket, 10 GbE connectivity beyond the installed Intel X550 ports or additional 2.5-inch drive bays beyond the eight available should consider other platforms.
Deciding Specification
The installed PERC H730P controller governs RAID level support, cache capacity and SAS drive management, making it the single component that determines whether the storage subsystem meets application IOPS and redundancy requirements.

Questions about this item
Do I need to supply DDR4 modules to reach the 64GB listed?
The system ships with 64GB DDR4 installed as four 16GB PC4-2666 sticks, so no additional memory is required.
Will the H730P controller recognise the existing 2.4TB 10K SAS drives if I keep them?
The H730P RAID controller manages the four 2.4TB 10K SAS drives already installed, and supports the full 8-bay 2.5" chassis for future expansion.
How can I confirm the dual 10-core Silver 4210R processors are active after power-on?
iDRAC9 Enterprise will display both CPUs with 10 cores each at 2.4GHz and 13.75M cache in the hardware inventory once the server posts.
