2U rack server for virtualisation workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R740 fits a standard 2U rack space and ships with two Intel Silver 4210R processors, each offering ten cores at 2.4 GHz. Sixty-four gigabytes of DDR4 memory are installed across four 16 GB modules running at 2666 MT/s. The system includes a PERC H730P RAID controller and two 120 GB SATA SSDs for boot or caching duties.

PCIe Gen 3 expansion ceiling

Up to eight PCIe Gen 3 slots are available for additional networking, storage or accelerator cards. The integrated Intel X550 network daughter card already provides two 10 Gb RJ45 ports and two 1 Gb RJ45 ports. No optical drive bay is present, so external media or network boot methods are required for installation.

64 GB DDR4 memory limit as shipped

The configured 64 GB capacity suits moderate virtualisation or database tasks but cannot be expanded without adding modules to the remaining DIMM slots. Buyers who need larger in-memory datasets or higher VM density will have to populate the empty slots with compatible DDR4 RDIMMs. The dual 1100 W redundant power supplies support the current load and future upgrades.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 2 x 120GB SSD configuration or add more drives to the 8 x 2.5" bays?

The server ships with 2 x 120GB SATA RI SSDs in an 8-bay 2.5" chassis, leaving six bays free for additional SATA SSDs or HDDs to expand capacity or create larger RAID sets with the H730P controller.

What does the 2.4 GHz clock on the dual Silver 4210R CPUs deliver in this 2U rack server?

Two 10-core Silver 4210R processors at 2.4 GHz provide 20 cores and 40 threads total, suited for virtualisation, database workloads and multi-threaded applications within the 2U R740 chassis.

How does the PCIe Gen 3 interface limit the H730P RAID controller and the Intel X550 10Gb Ethernet ports?

The R740 provides up to eight PCIe Gen 3 slots; the H730P and dual-port 10Gb Intel X550 NDC operate within Gen 3 bandwidth, capping each 10GbE link at line rate while the RAID controller uses a Gen 3 x8 link for up to 8 x 2.5" drives.
