Server identity

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon Silver 4214 processors running at 2.2GHz and 768GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. It includes a PERC H730P RAID controller, a 10GB dual-port 562T network adapter and dual 750W power supplies. The chassis provides eight 3.5-inch drive bays and ships without any drives installed.

Suitability

This configuration suits workloads that require high core counts and large memory capacity, such as virtualisation hosts, database servers or compute clusters. The 10GbE uplinks and hardware RAID support storage-intensive applications. Buyers who need GPU acceleration or more than two processor sockets should consider a different platform.

Deciding specification

The installed 768GB of DDR4 memory across 24 DIMM slots is the specification that determines fit; it delivers substantial capacity today while leaving headroom toward the 3TB maximum supported by the R740. If the target workload demands less memory, a smaller configuration reduces cost; if it demands more, the platform can scale within the same chassis.

Questions about this item

How should I decide between the 8-bay 3.5-inch chassis and other bay counts for this R740?

This unit is the 8LFF version with eight 3.5-inch bays; choose it when you need maximum 3.5-inch drive density in a 2U rack server.

What does the 2.2 GHz clock on the two Xeon Silver 4214 processors deliver in actual workloads?

Two 12-core Xeon Silver 4214 CPUs at 2.2 GHz provide 24 cores total with 16.5 MB cache each, suited for virtualization and database tasks.

How does the PERC H730P controller limit storage throughput with SATA drives?

The PERC H730P RAID controller manages the eight SATA bays, so array speed is bound by the SATA interface and the controller’s own throughput ceiling.
